CFA-1609 HVAC

1. INTRODUCTION

Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) owned Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) from qualified vendors for the replacement of the HVAC system servicing CFA-1609. The current system has exceeded its useful life, is inefficient, and relies on obsolete refrigerant, making repairs increasingly difficult and unreliable.

2. BACKGROUND

INL is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory dedicated to nuclear energy, national security, and clean energy innovation. The HVAC system at CFA-1609 is critical to maintaining environmental control and operational reliability. Due to frequent failures and aging infrastructure, BEA recommends full replacement of the system.

Work summary will include:

• Removal of existing electrical support equipment, air handling unit, HVAC condensing units, ductwork, and associated refrigerant piping

• Installation of new electrical support equipment

• Installation of a 15-ton fan coil, 15-ton condensing unit, compressor, and associated refrigerant piping and controls

3. PROCESS

This EOI is the first step in identifying interested and qualified vendors. Responses may be used to inform the development of a formal solicitation list. Selected vendors may be invited to participate in a Request for Quote (RFQ) process for award consideration.

4. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

Interested vendors should submit an Expression of Interest that includes the following:

• Company name and point of contact

• Description of HVAC system capabilities relevant to the CFA-1609 scope

• NAICS codes and business size classification

• Any existing DOE or federal contracting experience (if applicable)

Deadline for submission: 05/01/2026 Submit to: Chase.Egbert@inl.gov

Only select respondents, as determined by BEA, will receive an invitation to participate in the anticipated RFQ solicitation.

5. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

Because information received in response to this EOI may be business sensitive or proprietary to the responding party, respondents must mark information in their responses accordingly.
