The Embassy of the United States Lome, Department of State intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to: Johnson Controls Industries � YORK & SABROE Service 14 Rue de Bel Air - 44470 - Carquefou FRANCE Phone number: +33.240.30.63.70 - +33.611.95.75.71 The scope of this acquisition requires from the contractor to provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, and transportation necessary to perform the following core tasks: Field verify existing dimensions, configurations, and performance specifications of the current chiller coils. Safely recover and dispose of existing refrigerants in accordance with EPA regulations. Demolish and remove the damaged or degraded cooling coils. Supply and install new, heavy-duty replacement coils matching or exceeding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) performance standards. Reconnect all piping, controls, and electrical components. Perform pressure testing, vacuum pull-down, refrigerant charging, and comprehensive system startup testing to verify proper operation. The anticipated period of performance is three months Place of Performance: US Embassy Lome 4332 blvd Eyadema � Cit� OUA BP 852 Lome Togo Statutory Authority This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), "Soliciting from a Single Source" for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Justification for Single Source Johnson Controls (JCI) is uniquely qualified and is the only known source capable of fulfilling this requirement because the rusted coils are part of an existing JCI / York Air Handling Unit (AHU) or Chiller. Replacing them with third-party, non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) coils introduces a high risk of improper alignment, sizing mismatches, and compromised structural integrity. The existing air handling infrastructure relies on proprietary dimensions and specific engineering design thresholds unique to Johnson Controls. Utilizing an aftermarket coil would modify the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) configuration, altering the precise static pressure drop, air velocity profiles, and thermal performance parameters engineered by JCI. The vendor possesses proprietary rights, data software, or manufacturing drawings essential to completing the work.
