Scope summary

  • The Army sought non-personal HVAC chemical water-treatment services at Fort Hood, Texas.
  • The contractor would supply the personnel, management, equipment, tools, supplies, and transportation.
  • The work also required HVAC treatment chemicals and freeze protection. Both had to follow the equipment manufacturers' recommendations and the performance work statement.
§ 03

Why this may fit

  • This could fit a Texas HVAC water-treatment firm that already supplies treatment chemicals and has field crews.
§ 04

Eligibility and blockers

  • Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5).
  • Primary NAICS 325998.
  • This was a sources-sought notice, not a request for bids. The public notice text does not state the response format, service frequency, testing, reporting, or equipment list.
§ 05

Risks and open questions

  • A general HVAC installer may not have the chemical-treatment experience or the right NAICS registration for this notice.
  • The public notice text leaves the equipment list, service frequency, testing, reporting, and response requirements unstated.
WATCH

RECOMMENDATION: WATCH

Watch this notice if your company already handles HVAC chemical water treatment at Fort Hood. General mechanical installers should not treat this as routine HVAC work.
