Purchase Order W9132T26P0001

Sc-B Consulting Incorporated, an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business headquartered in Urbana, Illinois, has been awarded a $52,447 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to provide Controls System Test Laboratory (CSTL) support services. The contract, set aside for small businesses, requires the contractor to deliver technical expertise in Building Automation System (BAS) installation, configuration, and integration at the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC-CERL) in Champaign, Illinois. The work involves installing, configuring, and integrating an estimated 24 to 30 BACnet devices across three major one-week installation sessions and eight shorter troubleshooting and integration sessions, with all work to be completed on-site and performed between January and December 2026, with a completion date of January 25, 2027.

The contract supports ERDC-CERL's demonstration project evaluating Managed BACnet protocol capabilities and facility-related control systems. Sc-B Consulting brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having previously delivered building automation system services, energy systems research, and infrastructure modernization support to ERDC under multiple indefinite delivery vehicles valued at approximately $7 million in ceiling value. The contractor must demonstrate experience with BACnet device installations from multiple vendors and integration capabilities with Niagara Framework plus additional front-end systems such as Schneider Electric EBO, Siemens Desigo, or Johnson Controls Metasys. The government will provide network infrastructure and test equipment, while the contractor is responsible for all technical installation and integration work but excluded from cybersecurity engineering, electrical work beyond low-voltage connections, and server-side operations.
