J041--EMERGENCY OEM HVAC Relocation Service & Maintenance

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Single Source Justification" for soliciting from a single source under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), in accordance with FAR 13.106-1. It outlines the rationale for procuring HVAC system maintenance and storage services from Trane, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why a sole-source procurement is being considered. It details:

• The Need: VA-purchased HVAC equipment, valued over $3,000,000, requires specialized maintenance and storage to preserve its warranty and prevent degradation. The current contract for this equipment is terminated, and the equipment faces loss of servicing and maintenance by the end of February 2026.
• Sole Source Rationale: Trane is identified as the OEM and the sole expert capable of maintaining, certifying, and warrantying this specific equipment. They are also required to provide temperature-controlled storage and transport.
• Market Research: The document describes market research conducted, including searches on SBA databases and GSA eLibrary. While other small businesses were found capable of servicing, they lacked the capability to move or store the systems, requiring subcontracting to Trane. A GSA contract (47QSWA20D002A) with Trane was identified as a potential procurement vehicle.
• Emergency Procurement: The procurement is deemed an emergency to prevent environmental harm to the HVAC systems.
• Estimated Cost: The estimated cost for the base year is $250,400.00, with a total contract value of $591,200.00.

This justification indicates that the opportunity is likely to be awarded to Trane U.S. Inc. due to the unique requirements and the findings of the market research.

While this document is attached to a SAM.gov opportunity record, its content is primarily administrative and internal to the government agency.
