F- GSO Replacement of cooling sytem cafeteria walk-infridges

The requirement is to replace the refrigeration system on two walk-in coolers in the cafeteria at the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt. The estimated value for the entire period of performance is $19,000, including options. These supplies/services require the replacement of the refrigeration system of the two walk-in refrigerators in the cafeteria. This will allow the cafeteria contractor to serve meals daily.

The two walk-in refrigerators in question are critical to the storage of perishable food items that are essential to the consulate's cafeteria operations. Recently, both refrigerators have experienced several significant malfunctions that have compromised their ability to maintain the temperature required for safe food storage. The refrigeration systems in the walk-in coolers were installed in 2005, are EOL, and continue to lose refrigerant. It is only a matter of time before they fail again.

We have spent over $10,000 in repairs in the last year to keep the current refrigeration system running. Each short-term repair costs us an average of $1,500. It is critical that the entire refrigeration system be replaced as soon as possible.
