- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. This notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. Although the Government is not obligated to and will NOT pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis, industry is strongly encouraged to respond to this sources sought notice as information received may affect future acquisitions for the equipment/systems in question. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, is seeking responses from industry to determine if there are any known United States (U.S.) manufactured or substantially changed Inverter‐Driven Ductless Mini‐Split Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems in existence that are being used for commercial applications. This requirement includes, but is not limited to, inverter‐driven ductless mini‐split heat pump and air conditioner systems. The information received will be used in a determination as to whether or not an exception to the Buy American statute exists for construction solicitations and contracts that are being performed in the United States and that are valued at less than $7,358,000, due to non-availability or unreasonable cost of U.S.-made inverter‐driven ductless mini‐split HVAC systems. Of particular interest to this Contracting Officer is whether there exists a U.S.-made ductless split system air conditioner that can be used with refrigerant lines ranging from 40 feet to over 100 feet in length. A waiver to the Buy American statute may be pursued for existing construction project(s) solicited by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, if it is determined that there is no U.S.-made system that can meet these requirements. It is requested that manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and industry experts either provide confirmation that a U.S.-made ductless split system exists or does not exist. Submit responses to the Contracting Office at the following email addresses: patricia.a.ortiz@usace.army.mil and shannan.m.jones@usace.army.mil. Your responses should include the following information: Manufacturer name: Model and part numbers: Item Nomenclature/description: Unit of Issue/measure: Place of Origin: If substantially transformed in the U.S. the City and State where transformed: Approximate wholesale and retail price: Availability/Lead-time: Name and address of the potential supplier: Include product data/cut sheets, with the equipment salient characteristics and capabilities.
