Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains responses to vendor questions regarding Solicitation Number W50S8A26QA010, which is a combined synopsis/solicitation.

• Proposal Submission: Proposals are to be submitted via email. The subject line should follow the format: "Quote Submission by Company XXXXX, Solicitation Number W50S8A26QA010".

• Site Visit: A site visit was held on May 21, 2026. Interested parties were required to email Casey Pridham and Matthew Lapointe by May 19, 2026, to attend.

• Equipment Tonnage: The chiller unit is a 70-ton unit, consisting of two 20-ton modules and two 15-ton modules. The previous mention of a tonnage range was a miscalculation.

• Used Equipment: Used or refurbished equipment is not acceptable for this project.

• HVAC Controllers: There are 24 controllers in the building. Section 5.12 contained a verbiage error; new Schneider controllers are required for the new chiller and existing equipment to integrate with the Schneider BMS. The existing HVAC system will not be transferred to the new controls server with associated graphics.

• Chiller Specifications: For information to match up from the old chiller to the new chiller specs, vendors should contact AirStack. Serial Numbers for modules are JE-09-75, JE-09-77, and JE-12-62.

• SF1449/SF18/Pricing Sheet: The Government will not provide an SF1449, SF18, or pricing sheet, as this is a combined synopsis/solicitation that does not use the SF1449 per FAR 12.603(b). The agency is utilizing "similar agency/automated format(s)" per RFO FAR 12.201-1(c).

• Funds Availability: Funds will be available for the project at the time of award.

• Completion Time Extension: The Government will review requests for extension of the performance period on a case-by-case basis.
