CLASSIFICATION: TRACK FOR FUTURE RECOMPETE
RADAR STATUS: AWARDED
FPC Bryan Brazos Unit Chiller Award
Agency: Federal Bureau of Prisons
Location: Bryan, Texas
Stage: Awarded September 15, 2026
Relevant scope: Supply of a 160-ton air-cooled scroll chiller for the Brazos Unit at FPC Bryan.
Why it deserves attention: The award creates a concrete Texas federal HVAC pricing and contractor-history datapoint. The underlying requirement was a Total Small Business procurement for a 160-ton air-cooled scroll chiller, and the government awarded $130,665.
Competitive context: The award went to RNK International, Inc. of Irvine, California. The original procurement was solicitation 15B50426Q00000013, posted in July as a Total Small Business set-aside. It was primarily a supply requirement, with FPC Bryan planning the replacement in-house.
Next action:
Add the $130,665 award to the FPC Bryan buying-history record.
Track RNK International as a federal chiller/equipment supplier.
Monitor FPC Bryan for future HVAC equipment purchases and maintenance work.
Capture the equipment manufacturer/model if later award records expose it.
What to monitor next: Award performance/delivery information and any future FPC Bryan chiller or HVAC replacement solicitation.
