Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, through the W7NU USPFO ACTIVITY OHANG 180, has issued a Justification Review Document for Emergency Hangar HVAC Coil Repair at the 180th Fighter Wing in Swanton, Ohio. This document justifies proceeding with a sole-source contract due to unusual and compelling urgency to restore the heating system in Building 101. The justification was published on February 19, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is to restore the heating system in Building 101 following a frozen pipe burst around January 20, 2026. The work includes:

- Cutting off the domestic water feed in the mechanical room and filling the system with a 70/30 blend of glycol, including a 50-gallon make-up tank for feeder and bypass system.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(2) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) as implemented in FAR 6.302-2, "Unusual and compelling urgency."
- Urgency: Immediate need to prevent further damage due to a frozen pipe burst and ongoing inclement weather.
- Published: February 19, 2026
Additional Notes
This justification indicates the government's intent to award a non-competitive contract due to the emergency nature of the repairs. While multiple vendors could perform the work, the immediate need to prevent further facility damage takes precedence over a standard competitive process. The document also states that market research will be conducted to develop a pool of qualified vendors for future similar requirements. Interested parties for future opportunities should monitor SAM.gov.
