About this file
This is a presolicitation notice for a sole source procurement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Acquisition & Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk, intends to award a purchase order to Johnson Controls International (JCI) for annual support and maintenance services for the JCI MetaSys Building Automation System (BAS) at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina. The associated NAICS code is 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Contractors), and no set-aside applies to this requirement. The period of performance is one year from the date of award.
NOAA bases the sole source determination on JCI being the only source capable of providing the required services at the necessary quality level due to the highly specialized technical nature of the work. The existing BAS is proprietary to the JCI MetaSys platform, and only JCI retains legal and technical authority to access the MetaSys programming environment, software licensing, and diagnostic tools. Similar products or services from other companies cannot be integrated into or substituted for the existing MetaSys system, and JCI has no authorized partners or resellers capable of providing these services. This presolicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available; however, firms believing they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the point of contact within 15 days after publication. The government will evaluate such requests solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, with that determination remaining solely within the government's discretion. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
