Temporary Desiccant Climate Controlled Unit (DCCU) System

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the rental or lease of a Temporary Desiccant Climate Controlled Unit (DCCU) System. This initiative aims to provide dry and tempered process air for various industrial applications, aligning with the shipyard's operational requirements. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for providing a DCCU system that includes multiple DCCUs, a chiller, chilled water pump, chilled water hose manifolds, hose assemblies, and associated onboard controls. The system must ensure dry and tempered air for conditioning spaces used in industrial applications. Key tasks include: - Establishing a temporary chilled water system serving all DCCUs. - Ensuring all equipment is pre-wired with remote E-Stop capability for emergency airflow control. - Providing start-up and commissioning services to prepare equipment for service, including pressurizing systems, leak checks, and training government operators. - Conducting preventative maintenance and repairs throughout the lease duration, including weekly inspections and technical support. - Delivering technical documentation such as operations manuals, maintenance schedules, and certification reports. Period of Performance Base period from 12/14/2026 to 12/12/2027 (52 weeks), with two options extending performance until 11/12/2028. Place of Performance Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Bidder Requirements Bidders must have the capability to provide the specified DCCU system components as outlined in the statement of work. They should also be able to perform functional performance testing of equipment and provide certified technicians for maintenance and repairs. Specific qualifications or certifications related to HVAC systems may be required. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on contract N3904025C0006 awarded to BSE Performance for a “TEMP DH RENTAL PACKAGE” providing a rental DCCU system at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, including multiple DCCUs, a chiller, chilled water pump, hose manifolds/assemblies, and integrated onboard controls with remote E-Stop capability. The described scope for the current requirement—rental/lease of a Temporary Desiccant Climate Controlled Unit system to deliver dry and tempered process air, along with commissioning/start-up and ongoing preventative maintenance—appears to be a continuation of the same type of equipment and support services at the same facility. A closely related prior award (N3904025C0013) for “DCCU RENTAL” was also made to Aggreko, further indicating continuity of this specific DCCU rental configuration and mission.
