The NAICS code for this requirement is 811310.
Trane is the only contractor with the capability to perform the required services on the Trane controlled chillers. The VA owned Trane Ensemble system is a proprietary control system and will only have true full compatibility with other Trane Ensemble components, software and personnel. Other contractors are unable to perform this work due to not having access to Trane software and replacement supplies. Due to the proprietary nature of the work requiring a manufacturer and installer having qualified experience in programming Trane Ensemble and having access to Trane parts and codes/software, these proprietary issues would not allow for full and open competition.
This notice of intent is not a solicitation nor is it a request for proposal. However, interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirement must clearly identify their capability to do so in writing by November 25, 2025 at 12 pm EST time. Response should be sent to Issa Shawki at issa.shawki@va.gov. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. A determination not to open this requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
