This federal solicitation amendment (W50S77-26-Q-1CL7-00001) is issued by the 147th Mission Support Group Contracting Office at Ellington Field JRB in Houston, Texas. The purpose of the amendment is to incorporate additional security requirements, add an anti-terrorism clause, and integrate an anti-terrorism certification requirement. The government intends to award a single, firm-fixed-price purchase order under a 100% total small business set-aside. The contractor must provide a temporary, 100–124 ton nominal capacity air-cooled chiller rental for Building 1057. The scope of work includes mobilization, delivery, setup, electrical and water connections, freeze protection, 24/7 maintenance support, teardown, and site restoration over a five-month base period. Quotations must be submitted electronically to the designated Contracting Officers by September 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM Central Time. Submissions must be organized into three volumes: Price Proposal (Volume I), Technical Capability & Equipment Data (Volume II, which must include the Anti-Terrorism Certificate), and Past Performance & Responsibility Information (Volume III). Award will be made to the responsible offeror providing the best value to the government. Technical factors, evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, include equipment compliance, execution and operational planning, emergency support capabilities, past performance on similar HVAC projects within the last three years, and required professional certifications.

This federal government document outlines the strict security and access requirements for contractors, subcontractors, and delivery personnel performing work at the 147th Attack Wing, a secure federal military installation. To gain site access, personnel must submit error-free applications to the designated contract Point of Contact (POC) at least three working days prior to arrival, unless they hold a valid Department of Defense ID. While a formal security clearance is not required, all individuals must pass identity verification and background vetting. Access will be denied for disqualifying criteria, including inability to prove citizenship, active warrants, felony convictions, violent or sexual crimes, national security risks, and drug trafficking. State-issued firearm carry permits are preempted by federal law; therefore, firearms, ammunition, and dangerous weapons are strictly prohibited anywhere on the installation, including inside privately owned or commercial vehicles. While on-base, contractors must remain with an authorized sponsor at all times, adhere to operational security protocols, and comply with Force Protection Conditions. For vehicle access, operators must present a valid REAL ID-compliant driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance, and all vehicles are subject to random searches. Non-compliance with these security measures will result in immediate denial of entry. Any project delays resulting from access denials are non-excusable, and the prime contractor remains solely liable for meeting contract milestones.

This Statement of Work details the federal government's requirement for a temporary air-cooled chiller rental at Building 1057, a 40,000-square-foot facility at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston, Texas. The contractor must provide a 100-to-124-ton class chiller, complete with four 25-foot temporary hoses, miscellaneous fittings, and four 50-foot CAM power cables with bare-end tails. The anticipated rental period is five months, though some initial estimates reference a four-week baseline. The selected contractor is responsible for the delivery, positioning, setup, and eventual dismantling and removal of all equipment. Key operational responsibilities include coordinating temporary power connections, minimizing utility outage durations, providing freeze protection and water treatment, and restoring the work area upon project completion. Additionally, the contractor must submit equipment specifications, delivery schedules, and emergency contact details, and comply with all safety, OSHA, and base access protocols. Final acceptance requires fully operational, leak-free connections and safe electrical hookups ready for government operation.
