NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD MODIFICATION FOR BUILDING 750, JEWISH CHAPEL REPAIRS WEST POINT

The New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to award a contract modification on a sole source basis to Four Tribes Enterprises LLC, for the Jewish Chapel Flood Repair Project (B750), W912DS23C0026. This work is an expired option for a Condenser Unit to support the existing Air Handler Unit (AHU).

The government will not purchase the component directly, but rather will require that the offeror include the matching Condenser Unit to support the existing Air Handler Unit (AHU) currently in place and manufactured by Carrier. USACE is responsible for the acquisition and administration of the construction contract, to include modifications, for the Jewish Chapel Flood Repair Project (B750) through Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization program at West Point, NY.

This is not a formal solicitation or request for proposal. This notice of intent is to give notice of the Government's intent to make a sole source award under the authority cited in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1-(a)(2)(iii) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This work was included in the original solicitation and contract as optional work, but was not exercised in the required time prescribed.

Separating this work out and competing it would result in both substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays. The general requirement is to provide a Carrier brand Condensing Unit to support the new existing Carrier brand AHU as part of the mechanical system in the Jewish Chapel. This Condensing Unit will be installed on the existing backside mechanical yard of the Jewish Chapel. The Condensing Unit will meet the Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0.0, as required per contract.

In addition, the Condensing Unit will match with the existing AHU ensuring the manufacture, Carrier, will honor the warranty of both units. Any vendor wishing to propose an alternative source must provide a copy of all relevant data demonstrating the alternative source satisfies the above requirements, by the required due date and time, to Orlando Nieves at: orlando.nieves@usace.army.mil . This is not a request to respond to a solicitation.
