Statement of Need

To procure a new NTI model LX-600 boiler with specific performance and physical characteristics.

• Provide a boiler with 600,000 BTU input and ASME SS heat exchanger.

• Boiler must be floor-mount, with a factory-provided ASME relief valve.

• Requires at least 4:1 turndown on natural gas and 95% combustion efficiency.

• Must include a 4" exhaust vent, 4" fresh air intake, outdoor sensor, CSD-1 controls, and an integrated electronic controller with touch screen access.

• Factory-installed condensate trap and condensate drain kit are required.

• Physical dimensions must not exceed 24" wide x 47.5" deep x 55" high.

• Water (2") and gas (1") connections must be on the left-hand length side.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This memorandum documents the decision to restrict competition for the acquisition of a new boiler, citing FAR 12.102(a) for acquisitions at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) where only one source is available.

• The 55 CES requires a new boiler that is a direct replacement for the previous NTI model LX-600.
• Specific physical dimensions (no larger than 24" wide x 47.5" deep x 55" high) and connection configurations (water, gas, air/exhaust) are critical due to space and system constraints.
• The boiler must have at least 600 MBH capacity with at least a 4:1 turndown on natural gas.
• The NTI model LX-600 is identified as the only model that meets current configurations and avoids costly reconfigurations or system alterations.
• This decision also aims to prevent the need for new training on different brands of maintenance.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for a boiler will likely be a sole-source acquisition, limiting competition to a specific brand and model (NTI LX-600) due to stringent physical and technical requirements.
