Cooling System Replacement @ FILA
INTERIOR, DEPARTMENT OF THE > NATIONAL PARK SERVICE > MWR OHIO(64000)
Quick analysis
Set-aside is 100% Women-Owned Small Business under NAICS 238220; Trace is not a WOSB, creating a clear eligibility blocker per company profile and scoring guidance.
Scope is HVAC/mechanical construction (60-ton condenser, remote chiller, refrigerant piping/insulation, hydronic pumps) for NPS FILA in Canton, OH—outside Trace’s core SATCOM/C5ISR/IT lanes and in a low-priority NAICS for Trace.
All attached solicitation documents (solicitation, specs, drawings, bid schedule, wage determination, admin) are unreadable in the workspace; critical details cannot be validated.
No relevant past performance with NPS or HVAC construction is evidenced; competitive field likely favors local WOSB mechanical contractors/GCs, leaving Trace without a differentiator even as a sub.
Scope summary
- Prime must be WOSB under NAICS 238220 (size standard $19M).
- HVAC/mechanical construction at First Ladies National Historic Site (FILA), Canton, OH.
- Replace 60-ton air-cooled condenser and remote chiller; replace refrigerant piping and insulation; replace two hydronic pumps in chilled water loop.
- Firm-fixed-price; anticipated award Apr/May 2026; performance May/June 2026.
- Construction Wage Rate Requirements (Davis-Bacon) for Stark County, OH apply.
- UEI and active SAM with completed Reps & Certs at close.
- Site visit details referenced in solicitation (unreadable in current ingest).
Dimension scores
Scope is HVAC/mechanical construction (replace 60-ton condenser, remote chiller, refrigerant piping/insulation, hydronic pumps) per notice metadata—outside Trace core SATCOM/C5ISR/IT lanes; NAICS 238220 is listed as lower BD priority in company profile.
No evidence of NPS facilities/HVAC construction past performance in company profile; Trace past performance centers on DISA/DoD SATCOM, MPE, JADC2, etc., not building mechanical replacements.
Stand-alone IFB restricted to WOSB set-aside (not on a Trace-held vehicle). As a non-WOSB, Trace cannot prime; teaming with a WOSB would be required just to access.
No incumbency or differentiator; local WOSB mechanical contractors likely stronger. Trace has no stated advantage in HVAC construction or NPS facilities work.
Very high pursuit risk: eligibility blocker (WOSB), outside technical lane, unreadable solicitation/specs/drawings/bid schedule/wage determination impede scoping and pricing. Even as a sub, scope is misaligned with Trace capabilities.
Does not advance core DoD/SATCOM/C5ISR lanes or target agencies; NAICS 238220 is low-priority, small project magnitude ($500k–$750k), limited strategic upside.
Set-aside is 100% WOSB under NAICS 238220; Trace is not WOSB per company profile. Scoring guidance flags set-aside mismatch as a likely non-starter with Compliance 0–1.
Concerns
- Eligibility blocker: 100% WOSB set-aside; Trace not WOSB.
- All critical attachments unreadable (solicitation, specs, drawings, bid schedule, wage determination), preventing validation of scope, evaluation, and compliance terms.
- Outside Trace technical lanes; lack of licensed HVAC/mechanical construction capability indicated in company profile.
- Unknown bonding/insurance requirements due to unreadable admin/spec files.
- Cost/pricing uncertainty without wage determination and bid schedule.
- Local execution and permitting/constructability factors unknown pending drawings and specs.
Teaming opportunities
- Need a qualified WOSB prime contractor in NAICS 238220 with Ohio HVAC/mechanical construction credentials.
- Local Ohio mechanical/HVAC subs and licensed trades for Davis-Bacon compliance and execution in Stark County.
- Estimating/bonding capacity aligned to construction IFB requirements.
Competitive position
- Not applicable for prime: Trace is ineligible under WOSB set-aside; at best a minor subcontract role to a WOSB MEP/GC could be explored, but offers limited differentiation or strategic value.
Bid/No bid factors
- Set-aside type mismatch: 100% WOSB; Trace is not WOSB (compliance blocker).
- All attachments unreadable; solicitation, drawings, specs, bid schedule, and wage determination inaccessible.
- NAICS 238220 is lower BD priority for Trace and outside core capabilities.
- Small construction IFB likely favors local WOSB HVAC firms; no visible differentiator.

Attachment_-_Construction_Contract_Admin.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
PDF unavailable for review; extractor pending and the workspace only captured metadata. Because the file is unreadable, its specific contract-administration content cannot be confirmed from this extract.
- Extraction status: pending / processing_mode = metadata_only; no text extracted.
- Review status: restricted — reviewers could not access substantive content.
- Filename indicates this is a Construction Contract Administration attachment, so it may contain contract clauses, administration procedures, payment/billing requirements, bonds/insurance, and compliance requirements, but these items are NOT confirmed.
- Because content is unreadable, critical scoring-relevant items (e.g., wage determinations, performance period, schedule/milestones, site visit details, evaluation factors, bonding/insurance, and specific deliverables) are unknown from this file.
- Full-text extraction of this PDF is required to surface contract terms that materially affect Compliance, Risk, and Deliverables during later scoring.
Attachment_-_Drawings-Plans.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The file is labelled as the project's drawings/plans but is unreadable in the ingest — only metadata is present. Because no content was extracted, no drawings, dimensions, or technical details could be confirmed from this file.
- Filename indicates this attachment should contain construction drawings/plans for the Cooling System Replacement project (likely site plans, equipment layouts, and MEP details), but contents are not available for review.
- No extracted content prevents verification of critical technical details needed for bid estimating: equipment specifications (condenser/chiller), piping runs, pump locations, structural/roof access, or phasing.
- Unreadable drawings are a blocker to accurately assessing scope, schedule, and risk — would normally require retrieval of the PDF or a site visit to replace the missing information.
- Absence of drawing details impedes confirmation of place of performance specifics and any site constraints that affect constructability or OCONUS/CONUS logistics (relevant to Risk and Technical Fit evaluations).
- Because the file is inaccessible, teaming or clarifying questions to the contracting officer may be required to obtain the drawings before proposal preparation.
- Document presence in inventory (attachment list) signals the contracting office intended to provide design details here; inability to read it is an evidence gap, not an indication the drawings don't exist.
Attachment_-_Limitations_on_Subcontracting_Report.xlsx
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The attachment is an unreadable Excel titled 'Limitations_on_Subcontracting_Report' and no text was extracted. Metadata shows extraction is pending and the file was processed only for metadata and marked restricted; therefore specific subcontracting details cannot be confirmed from this file.
- Filename indicates the document is a 'Limitations on Subcontracting' report — likely relevant to set-aside/subcontracting compliance for the WOSB requirement.
- File extraction status: extractor pending and processing_mode=metadata_only — content not available.
- Review status: restricted — access to file contents blocked or not provided.
- Because the file is unreadable, cannot verify subcontracting percentages, prime/subcontractor roles, or any statements that would affect Compliance or Competitive Position scoring.
- A readable copy is needed to determine whether the offeror(s) meet WOSB subcontracting limitations and to confirm any prime/subcontractor breakdowns that affect eligibility.

Attachment_-_Submittal_List.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The PDF was ingested only as metadata and flagged unreadable/restricted; no textual content or sections are available for review. Extraction is pending and the file provides no usable information for scoring or requirements analysis.
- Processing mode: metadata_only; extractor status: pending; review_status: restricted.
- Limitation reason recorded as: 'unreadable' — no text was extracted from the file.
- Because the file is unreadable, there is no available detail on submittal requirements, required deliverables, schedule constraints, or evaluation criteria that might be contained in this attachment.
- Impact: inability to verify submission checklist items (e.g., required forms, drawings, certifications), which may be a blocker for proposal preparation until a readable copy is obtained.
Bid_Schedule_-_Cooling_System.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The PDF named 'Bid_Schedule_-_Cooling_System.pdf' could not be parsed (metadata-only ingest, extractor pending and review_status restricted), so the bid schedule contents are unavailable. Because the file is unreadable, any line-item pricing, quantities, specific delivery/performance dates, place-of-performance breakdown, bonding or insurance requirements, and wage-rate references contained in the bid schedule cannot be reviewed from this document.
- Filename: 'Bid_Schedule_-_Cooling_System.pdf' — implies this file should contain the project's bid items, unit quantities, and pricing schedule (but contents unreadable).
- Extraction status: pending; processing_mode: metadata_only; extractor listed as 'pending' — no text was extracted for analysis.
- Review status: restricted; limitation_reason: 'unreadable' — confirms the file cannot currently be read or reviewed.
- Practical impact: missing bid schedule blocks access to cost/pricing structure, detailed scope breakdown, and any month-by-month performance or milestone schedule that would inform technical fit, risk, and pricing estimates.
- Compliance implications: unreadable schedule prevents verification of Davis-Bacon / wage-rate line items, bonding amounts, SB/WOSB set-aside compliance notes, and any subcontracting/MPV clauses that might be embedded in the schedule.
- Next steps implied: obtain a readable copy (solicitation download link in opportunity metadata) or request the contracting office for accessible version to extract pricing and line-item scope for scoring.

Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The spreadsheet could not be opened or parsed during ingestion (extractor pending; metadata_only processing). No internal rows, columns, or line-item data were extracted; only the filename and processing metadata are available for review.
- Ingestion/processing: extractor = pending, processing_mode = metadata_only, review_status = restricted — no content extracted.
- No bid schedule contents available (line items, quantities, unit prices, totals) — cannot confirm pricing or cost breakdown.
- No construction schedule or milestone details accessible (start/finish dates, phasing, duration) — cannot confirm performance timeline from this file.
- No technical or scope details (equipment specs, manufacturer models, alternates) could be read from the file.
- No site-specific or contract compliance entries (bonding, submittals, Davis-Bacon wage line-items) are extractable from this document.
- Because the file is unreadable, any opportunity-critical details that typically live in a bid schedule (e.g., payment milestones, mobilization, holdbacks) cannot be used for scoring or proposal planning until a readable copy is obtained.
Sol_140P6426B0007.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The solicitation PDF could not be parsed (extractor pending and file marked unreadable), so no document-level text or sections are available for review. Opportunity-level metadata (separately provided) contains the solicitation facts; those facts are noted below for later scoring but were not extracted from this PDF.
- Document is the official solicitation file (Sol_140P6426B0007.pdf) but unreadable—extractor pending; treat as primary source once parsing succeeds.
- Solicitation number (from opportunity metadata): 140P6426B0007 — likely contained in this PDF.
- Project: Cooling System Replacement for First Ladies National Historic Site (FILA) in Canton, OH — scope likely in the solicitation (metadata source).
- Anticipated work: replacement of 60-ton air-cooled condenser, remote chiller, refrigerant piping & insulation, and two hydronic pumps in chilled water loop — described in opportunity metadata (verify in PDF when readable).
- Estimated magnitude: $500,000–$750,000 (project magnitude) — relevant to small business/NAICS evaluation.
- Contract type / schedule: Firm-fixed-price; expected award Apr/May 2026 with performance to begin May/June 2026 — timeline affects resourcing and ramp risk.
- NAICS: 238220 with $19M size standard — determines small-business sizing and Trace eligibility (Trace is not a WOSB by profile).
- Set-aside: 100% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) — potentially disqualifying for Trace unless teaming with a WOSB.
- Wage requirements: Construction Wage Rate Requirements for Stark County, OH will apply (Davis-Bacon implications).
- Administrative requirements: Offeror must have UEI and active SAM registration with completed representations and certifications at close — procurement prerequisites.
- Site visit: Mentioned in metadata; solicitation likely includes site-visit date/time/requirements (not available in extracted PDF).
- Point of Contact: Craig D Bryant, Contracting Officer, craig_bryant@ios.doi.gov, 330-468-2500 x6 — useful for clarification once solicitation is accessible.
- Attachments / linked files: Opportunity contains multiple sourceLinks / attachments (11 links listed) that likely include solicitation, specs, drawings; these may contain critical SOW, drawings, or clauses but were not parsed.
Specifications_-_Cooling_System.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The PDF is unreadable in the ingestion pipeline and no contents were extracted. The filename indicates it should contain the project technical specifications for the cooling system replacement, but the actual specification text, drawings, and requirements are not available from this file.
- Filename indicates 'Specifications - Cooling System' — likely the definitive technical/specification package for the project (but content unreadable).
- Extraction/processing status: metadata_only; extractor pending; review restricted — no extractable technical details (no scope clarifications, drawings, or install requirements available).
- Because the file is unreadable, critical procurement details that would affect Trace scoring are unavailable here, including exact technical specs, phasing/schedule, site access or constraints, bonding/insurance requirements, and any specific evaluation criteria.
- This file would normally confirm construction requirements that interact with NAICS 238220 sizing, prevailing wage (Stark County) applicability, performance period, and deliverables; none of those specifics can be verified from this document.
- For known opportunity-level facts (see notice metadata): project magnitude $500k–$750k, set aside 100% WOSB, expected FFP award Apr/May 2026 with performance beginning May/June 2026, and location Canton, OH — this PDF would be the place to validate and expand those items if readable.
Wage_Determination_-_Stark_Co.pdf
Download
Restricted: Unreadable
The PDF could not be extracted or reviewed; only filename and ingestion metadata are available. The filename indicates this is a wage determination for Stark County, which is relevant to the solicitation's Davis‑Bacon/construction wage requirements, but the document contents (rates, classifications, effective date, and any locality exceptions) are unavailable.
- Filename: 'Wage_Determination_-_Stark_Co.pdf' — indicates intended subject is the Stark County wage determination tied to the project.
- Ingestion/extraction status: metadata_only; extractor pending; review_status marked 'restricted' — no readable content to verify rates or labor classifications.
- Relevance: Opportunity metadata explicitly states Construction Wage Rate Requirements for Stark County, OH apply; this file would normally contain the exact prevailing wages and fringe benefits that drive compliance and cost estimating.
- Missing details: Cannot confirm specific wage rates, job classifications, or effective dates that could materially affect pricing and staffing assumptions.
- Operational impact: A readable wage determination will be required to finalize labor cost estimates and ensure Davis‑Bacon compliance for proposal preparation.
