    Description

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole source contract to Spectre Alliance Industries L.L.C. for the replacement and installation of a Daikin VRV outdoor HVAC unit at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. This urgent procurement is necessitated by the failure of the existing HVAC unit, which is critical for maintaining the climate control of the 13,000 square foot facility, particularly as winter temperatures drop, posing a risk of damage to the building. The selected contractor is uniquely qualified due to their exclusive knowledge of the existing Daikin system and its integration with the building's automation controls, making them the only viable option for this replacement. Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities to Renee Babineau at renee_babineau@fws.gov, but no telephone inquiries will be accepted.

    A16_3-0034_Single_Source_Justification_DRIWR_HVAC_(Signed)_1.pdf
    This document outlines a sole source justification for acquiring a replacement Daikin HVAC unit for the Visitor Center at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. It emphasizes the urgent need for timely HVAC system replacement due to dropping winter temperatures, which could cause damage to the $11 million facility. ThermalNectics, the only authorized Daikin representative for southeast Michigan, is uniquely qualified to replace the unit because they designed and installed the existing system and possess critical knowledge of its integration with the building's automation controls. The justification details that local HVAC companies were unable to resolve previous system issues, ultimately leading to higher costs due to needing multiple contractors. Since the existing system requires specific Daikin components for compatibility, ThermalNectics is deemed the only viable option. The document concludes with certifications from the Program Officer and Contracting Officer affirming the necessity and appropriateness of proceeding with the sole source acquisition under federal guidelines, as the offer from ThermalNectics is considered fair and reasonable given the circumstances.
