About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for replacing Building Automation Control Systems at the Arnold Site. The project scope involves assessing the current system, purchasing and installing a Tridium Niagara Framework for Mechanical, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Equipment, which includes replacing controllers, servers, and designing a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The new system must have capacity to integrate additional future systems such as Power Management, Fire Alarm, Life Safety, Generator Fuel Storage, Lighting Control, and Irrigation Systems.

The RFI requests industry input by May 9, 2025, seeking information about previous experience with similar building automation control systems, contract details, pricing templates, and technical capabilities. Respondents must submit a white paper not exceeding 15 pages, following specific formatting guidelines. The document emphasizes that this is an information-gathering exercise only, does not constitute a formal solicitation, and will not reimburse response costs. The RFI is targeted at businesses, with particular interest in small business categories, and companies with experience in electronic computer manufacturing (NAICS code 334111).

Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.

The intent is for industry to share their experiences with similar efforts and to provide comments and suggestions on providing NGA the required services. The Government plans to use the information provided by industry to develop a comprehensive procurement strategy.
