Single Source Justification.pdf

This document is a Justification for Single Source Award for the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically for a modification to an existing contract with Johnson Controls, Inc. for Energy Management System Maintenance at the Bay Pines VA Health Care System. The modification seeks to add an additional service day for maintenance, with Johnson Controls being the sole source due to being the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the systems and owning the rights to the proprietary energy management systems.

The scope of services includes software support, preventative maintenance, emergency maintenance, and repairs for Johnson Controls' Metasys Control System and BACnet system. The systems are critical for managing and optimizing energy usage, and monitoring patient and staff safety by controlling air handlers, chilled water, pumps, and heat exchangers. The modification covers 3,600 Field Equipment Controllers, 145 Network Automation Engines, and 600 smoke purge units across over 50 buildings. The contract is effective 11/15/2024, with limited market research conducted confirming Johnson Controls as the only vendor capable of providing these specialized services.
