This document is a sole source justification memorandum from the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). It seeks approval to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to ENGINEERED COOLING SERVICES (ECS) for the acquisition of a hyperbaric chamber test bath heating and cooling system. This includes the removal and replacement of the existing system for the Charlie hyperbaric chamber test bath within the Experimental Diving Facility (EDF) at NEDU.

This document outlines the specific services and equipment required for the hyperbaric chamber test bath heating and cooling system replacement. Key services include on-site meetings, securing power, obtaining hot work permits, coordinating dumpster placement, removing and disposing of existing glycol-mixed water and chiller, demolishing and removing chill water piping, and setting up rigging for new equipment. It details the installation of a new 4.90-ton air-cooled chiller, inline heating systems, new chill water piping, automatic valves, tanks, circulation pumps, pressure gauges, and temperature gauges. The document also specifies requirements for controls, insulation, electrical service modifications, and system testing. Furthermore, it provides the justification for a sole source award to ECS, citing their specialized knowledge and existing familiarity with the NEDU hyperbaric systems, which is deemed critical for maintaining compatibility and avoiding risks to diving operations and personnel. The estimated value is greater than $25,000, to be acquired using simplified acquisition procedures.
