TXANG has reissued its temporary-chiller requirement under a new solicitation after canceling W50S7726Q1CL7.

The government describes the requirement as urgent and mission-essential because the existing facility chiller has completely failed and is inoperable. The rental is intended to keep Building 1057 operational while the separate permanent repair-by-replacement procurement moves forward.

The requirement calls for one temporary 100 to 124 ton air-cooled chiller serving Building 1057, an approximately 40,000-square-foot facility at Ellington Field.

The contractor is responsible for:

The procurement sequence currently documented is:

September 15: W50S7726Q1CL7 issued for temporary chiller rental.

September 16: Amendment 00001 added security and anti-terrorism requirements.

September 17: W50S7726Q1CL7 canceled.

September 18: W50S7726QA003 issued as the new urgent HVAC Rental BPA.

A separate permanent-replacement solicitation, W50S7726Q1CKX, remains active for replacement of the Building 1057 122-ton air-cooled chiller.

BID NOW

The combination of an explicitly urgent requirement, a short response window and a complete equipment failure makes this worth immediate review for small-business HVAC rental and temporary-cooling contractors.

The cancellation and reissuance also make document control important. Contractors should work from W50S7726QA003, not the canceled W50S7726Q1CL7 package.

The existence of a separate permanent-replacement procurement suggests the rental is serving as a bridge rather than a standalone facilities requirement.

RADAR STATUS: MATERIAL PACKAGE CHANGE

Verification status: VERIFIED

Solicitation: FA301626Q0271

Agency: U.S. Air Force / Joint Base San Antonio

Location: JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Procurement type: Active federal prime solicitation

Set-aside: Total Small Business

Set-aside applies to: Prime offeror

NAICS: 238220

Current response deadline: September 22, 2026 at 4:00 PM CDT

Prime contractor: None identified. This is an active federal prime solicitation.

Bonding: Not verified

Latest material change: September 18 package update requiring contractors to use the amended SF 1449 solicitation and cover page.

Last verified: September 19, 2026

Official source: SAM.gov Contract Opportunities. Search solicitation FA301626Q0271.

JBSA updated the active Trane chiller requirement on September 18.

The current package instructs contractors to complete the Amended SF 1449 Solicitation and cover page.

The procurement package contains ten documents, including:

The requirement covers diagnostic and repair services for the Trane chiller at Building 3820.

The work must be performed by a contractor acting as, or coordinating with, qualified Trane service technicians with the objective of restoring the system to full operational capability according to manufacturer standards.

The requirement is identified as a service requirement, not construction.

The SOW includes up to 17 hours of targeted electrical, controls and mechanical diagnostics on the Trane chiller VFD.

If the VFD is diagnosed as defective, the scope provides for proceeding with replacement. Failures involving other components require authorization before additional work continues.

The exact contractual delta inside Amendment 0001 beyond requiring use of the amended solicitation is Not verified.

INVESTIGATE / TEAM

This opportunity appears most relevant to contractors that already have Trane-qualified capabilities or can coordinate directly with qualified Trane service technicians.

The September 18 document update creates a meaningful bid-risk issue: a contractor working from an earlier downloaded package could submit outdated forms.

The equipment photographs and contractor Q&A may also reduce diagnostic uncertainty for firms evaluating whether the work fits their service capabilities.

Contractors pursuing FA301626Q0271 should confirm they are using the September 18 amended package, not an earlier SF 1449.
