Noncompetitive Notice - Water Heater

The State of North Dakota intends to replace the existing water heater at the State Capitol with an identical PVI Durawatt electric packaged unit. Because the current unit’s brand and specifications are unique, the agency has identified R.M. Cotton, LLC as the sole authorized source, making the purchase non‑competitive. Vendors may still submit proposals for equivalent products, but the award price is fixed at $37,250. The work involves removal of the old heater, installation of the new unit, and testing to ensure compliance with existing plumbing, electrical, and venting configurations. • Replace a single PVI Durawatt electric packaged water heater at the North Dakota State Capitol (Bismarck, ND). • Fixed contract value of $37,250; procurement is non‑competitive with R.M. Cotton, LLC identified as the sole source. • Submission must be completed electronically via NDBuys by February 19, 2026, 12:00 PM CT; vendors must be registered in NDBuys. • Scope limited to equipment delivery, installation, and functional testing; no additional construction or extensive retro‑fitting required.
