BID NOW

Agency: NOAA
Solicitation: 1333MF26Q0110
Location: Galveston, Texas
Set-aside: Total Small Business
NAICS: 238220
Due: September 16

Why it deserves attention

This is a direct-fit commercial HVAC opportunity with a clear Texas place of performance and enough response time to evaluate.

The project involves HVAC repair and replacement work and is reserved for small businesses.

Key details

  • Direct HVAC scope

  • Texas project

  • Total Small Business set-aside

  • Active solicitation

  • Reasonable response window

Next action

  1. Review the current solicitation package.

  2. Confirm that the equipment and scope fit your capabilities.

MONITOR / DEADLINE TODAY

NOAA / National Weather Service HVAC Preventive Maintenance

Agency: NOAA / National Weather Service
Solicitation: 1305M326Q0470
Locations: Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Dickinson, New Braunfels, and San Angelo
Set-aside: Small Business
Structure: Base period plus four option years
Due: September 8

Why it deserves attention

This is a recurring HVAC service requirement covering five Texas locations.

The equipment mix includes:

  • air handling units

  • CRAC systems

  • packaged air conditioning

  • controls

  • related HVAC equipment

The base period plus four option years makes this potentially more valuable than a one-time repair contract.

Key issue

The listed response deadline is today.

That makes this a time-sensitive item, but it should not be treated as a normal BID NOW alert unless the official posting confirms that responses are still being accepted.

Next action

  1. Check the official solicitation immediately for the exact closing time and any amendments.

  2. If the deadline is still open, determine whether you can respond realistically.

  3. If the deadline has passed, move the requirement to a future recompete watchlist.

  4. Track the eventual award so the incumbent and contract period can be monitored.

Official opportunity: Search SAM.gov for solicitation 1305M326Q0470.

  • Small-business subcontracting plan required

  • Multiple amendments already posted

  • Phase II documents distributed through PIEE

Next action

  1. Review the latest solicitation amendment and Phase II material.

  3. If not, identify likely prime contractors pursuing the project.

  4. Position your company as an HVAC/mechanical subcontractor where appropriate.

  5. Contact the contracting office only if clarification is needed.
