Description
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) is seeking quotations from small‑business contractors to supply and install an evaporative cooling system—including cooling pads and side‑wall fans—at Greenhouse #5 (Building 5) in Stoneville, Mississippi. The work involves removing existing wooden wall mounts, installing new mounts, fitting 2‑foot‑tall cooling pads (10′ × 2′ × 4′) and side‑wall exhaust fans (single‑speed or mixed speed as clarified), and providing required QA/QC and safety plans. The solicitation is a total small‑business set‑aside and references NAICS 238210, though the scope aligns with HVAC installation. Contractors must acknowledge Amendment 1 and submit a complete quote by the date specified in the solicitation (not disclosed in the excerpt).
