The Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is planning to issue a solicitation for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to replace chillers at the United States Penitentiary (USP) in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The project involves the complete replacement of two existing chillers with new 400-ton centrifugal chillers, including all necessary labor, materials, and incidentals, with a performance period of 364 calendar days from the notice to proceed. This procurement is critical for maintaining the facility's operational efficiency and comfort, with an estimated project value between $500,000 and $1 million. Interested small businesses must be registered in SAM.gov and can expect the solicitation to be available around November 8, 2024; for further inquiries, they may contact Joshua Cortez at j2xcortez@bop.gov or 202-598-6039.
