The prime contractor, Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems, LLC, a foreign-owned for-profit organization, has executed multiple task orders under the UMCS-V IDIQ for projects such as maintenance and support services at Aberdeen Proving Ground, HVAC upgrades at Fort Cavazos, and fire suppression system installations at Fort Wainwright. These task orders, valued at over $44 million, $33 million, and $16 million respectively, do not have small business set-aside designations. Johnson Controls has extensive experience as a prime contractor delivering building automation, HVAC, and utility monitoring solutions for military, healthcare, and civilian government facilities.
The original UMCS-V solicitation, posted in 2017, sought qualified firms to procure and install utility monitoring and control systems at government sites worldwide. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers anticipated awarding multiple IDIQ contracts with a total estimated capacity of $2.75 billion over four base years and three option years. The agency indicated it would consider setting aside a portion of the contracts for small businesses under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Interested firms were required to demonstrate relevant experience, qualified personnel, and the ability to perform work both domestically and internationally.
