Attachment 09 534-CSI-714 Brand Name J A Siemens Desigo.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification form for a Simplified Acquisition Procedure (SAP) award under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center is procuring construction contractor services for hardware and software programming compatible with the existing Siemans Desigo Digital Direct Control (DDC) Building Automation System (BAS) to control the facility's heating and cooling environment. The scope requires utilizing Siemans-compatible devices and software, with programming on DDC points to be completed by Controls Management Incorporated (CMI), a Siemans-qualified solutions partner. The estimated contract value is redacted but falls under the $250,000 SAT threshold. The justification for single-source selection cites the existing facility-wide DDC BAS system as the limiting factor, asserting that only Siemans-compatible equipment and CMI services can ensure compatibility, controllability, and coverage under the existing service contract. Using incompatible devices would require a secondary DDC system and additional support infrastructure, resulting in wasteful spending on maintenance, service contracts, and lifecycle costs. No market research was conducted due to the existing BAS system requirement. The contracting officer certified price reasonableness determination per FAR 13.106-3 using an S19 Open Market Award Documentation Form with Abstract. The document was digitally signed by Kenyon Dulaney on May 20, 2026.
