SPECIAL NOTICE: REFRIGERATION MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
INTRODUCTION
This Special Notice serves as a Synopsis/Solicitation for Refrigeration Maintenance Services at Aberdeen Test Center (ATC). The Government intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to Industrial Refrigeration Service, Inc., located at 1116 Middle River Road, Suite K, Middle River, Maryland 21220-2412 (CAGE: 0D5U5). The anticipated contract includes one (1) 12-month base period and four (4) 12-month option periods. This action is executed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The Government anticipates making this award by mid-June 2026.
PROGRAM BACKGROUND
The Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) and Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) require maintenance and repair services for various test chambers located at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). These services demand qualified technicians experienced in industrial ammonia refrigeration. This contract supports ATC's mechanical integrity program through preventive maintenance, repair, and emergency response to chemical releases. Operations must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards (29 CFR 1910) and the ATC Process Safety Management (PSM) program.
The main ammonia plant houses 30,000 pounds of Ammonia (NH3), which feeds three separate test chambers. Because this quantity exceeds the OSHA 10,000-pound threshold, strict adherence to the Risk Management Plan (RMP) and PSM is mandatory to ensure the safety of APG personnel and visitors. Support contractors must be fully familiar with these written plans.
The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 811310 - Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance.
REQUIRED CAPABILITIES
The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, quality control, and inspections necessary to perform maintenance services for ATC buildings at APG, in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
