About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a HVAC preventative maintenance service contract. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeks to award a sole source contract to Johnson Controls to provide HVAC preventative maintenance services, including for option years, for its laboratory facility. The justification cites that Johnson Controls is the manufacturer and installer of the proprietary HVAC Metasys system, and has the exclusive expertise and resources to properly maintain and repair the system to preserve warranties. Due to the possibility of voiding warranties, the requirement must be sole-sourced to Johnson Controls, the only responsible source. The Contracting Officer intends to determine price reasonableness upon completion of negotiations. The related federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number 140FS124P0093) notifies interested parties of the intent to award this sole source requirement to Johnson Controls.
