W038--Laundry HVAC Rental
The Department of Veterans Affairs requires a temporary chiller, air handler, and generator due to an urgent failure of an air handler in the commercial laundry at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center. The estimated amount for this requirement is $255,000. Performance is located at the Medical Center, with equipment needed to be operational by Monday, May 18, 2026, due to forecasted 90-degree temperatures. United Rentals is the intended single source, as local competitors lack the necessary equipment to meet the urgent timeline. This acquisition is justified under FAR 13.106-1 for a compelling and urgent need.
