    JA - Heat Pump Retubing Redacted.pdf
    The US Army Corps of Engineers’ Walla Walla District is seeking approval for a sole source contract with Trane Technologies for the retubing of evaporator and condenser tubes in two Trane heat pumps at the McNary Project. The need arises due to the degradation of existing tubing caused by raw water exposure, necessitating proprietary 90/10 CuNi tubes from Trane, as only certified vendors can install them and provide a warranty. Market research indicates a lack of qualified vendors interested in participating in an open solicitation. Sole sourcing is justified since alternative solutions, such as contracting multiple vendors or delaying tube replacement, could lead to operational failures of essential heat pumps and substantial loss of power generation. Given these considerations, contracting exclusively with Trane is deemed in the government's best interest, aligning with FAR regulations regarding sole source procurement due to urgency and requirements for specific brand components. This contract is projected to ensure reliable operation and maintenance of crucial components underpinning the McNary Project's power-generating capabilities.
