- 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. Coast Guard Civil Engineering Unit Miami, Florida, is seeking responses from industry to determine if there are any known United States (U.S.) manufactured or substantially changed Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Zoning Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems in existence that are being used for commercial applications. This requirement includes, but is not limited to, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) multi‐split heat pump (with or without heat recovery) and air conditioning systems. The information received will be used in a determination as to whether or not an exception to the Buy America 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 VRF HVAC systems. Interest is whether there exists a U.S.-made VRF Zoning HVAC System featuring a distributed refrigerant system to provide for quicker, easier installation; capability to apply energy for heating or cooling only where needed; capability for simultaneous heating and cooling using multiple wall mounted units, ceiling cassette units, and ceiling concealed ducted units; an inverter-driven compressor for high-speed, high-efficiency heating and cooling; capability to communicate on an integrated centralized control network to combine multiple/all indoor units into an energy effective HVAC system for the entire serviced space. A waiver to the Buy America statute will be pursued for an existing construction project(s) 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 Variable Refrigerant Flow Zoning HVAC System exists or does not exist. Submit responses to the Contracting Office at the following email addresses: ada.m.hoggard@uscg.mil. Your responses should include the following information: Manufacturer name: Model numbers: Item Nomenclature/description: Range of Cooling Capacity (Nominal Tons): Place of Origin: If substantially transformed in the U.S., the City and State where transformed: Approximate wholesale and retail price:
