About this file
This is a presolicitation notice for a sole source procurement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk, intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Johnson Controls for an upgrade and replacement of its Metasys commercial HVAC building automation system (BAS) at 31-35 East Quay Road, Key West, Florida 33040. The associated NAICS code is 334512, and no set aside applies to this requirement. The sole source determination is justified on the grounds that Johnson Controls is the only vendor that manufactures and distributes the Metasys BAS. NOAA operates an enterprise BAS that requires Metasys brand name component parts to connect to and be managed by the central Johnson Controls Metasys administration software; integration of non-Metasys components is not possible due to compatibility issues, and a "brand name or equal" specification cannot be used. Johnson Controls is identified as the sole provider of this required system in the Florida Keys area. The delivery requirement is within 180 days from the date of award.
This presolicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this notice. Such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, with the final determination resting solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

***THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION’S (NOAA) ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, EASTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-NORFOLK, INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE AND AWARD A PURCHASE ORDER, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF RFO FAR 6.103-1, WITH JOHNSON CONTROLS FOR AN UPGRADE AND REPLACEMENT OF ITS METASYS COMMERCIAL HVAC BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM (BAS). TO BE DELIVERED/PERFORMED AT 31-35 EAST QUAY RD, KEY WEST, FL 33040. NO SET ASIDE IS TO BE USED FOR THIS SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT. THE ASSOCIATED NAICS CODE IS 334512.
***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA’S REQUIREMENT THAT JOHNSON
CONTROLS IS THE ONLY VENDOR THAT MANUFACTURES AND DISTRIBUTES THIS METASYS BAS.
NOAA OPERATES AN ENTERPRISE BAS THAT SUPPORTS THE JOHNSON CONTROLS (METASYS)
MANUFACTURED SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM REQUIRES METASYS BRAND NAME COMPONENT PARTS TO
CONNECT TO AND BE MANAGED BY THE CENTRAL JOHNSON CONTROLS METASYS ADMINISTRATION
SOFTWARE. METASYS BRAND COMPONENTS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENT AND THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND OPERATE ITS ENTERPRISE BAS
SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH FICAM. A “BRAND NAME OR EQUAL” DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE INTEGRATION OF OR INCLUSION OF NON-METASYS COMPONENTS IS NOT POSSIBLE; ANY NON-METASYS COMPONENTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. OTHER COMPANIES’ SIMILAR PRODUCT(S) DO NOT MEET, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED TO MEET THE AGENCY’S NEEDS. NOAA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
MANAGE, MAINTAIN, MONITOR, AND CONTROL ACCESS TO ITS FEDERALLY OWNED AND LEASED
SPACES WITHOUT CONTINUING TO EXPAND USING THE JOHNSON CONTROLS AND METASYS PARTS
AND RELATED COMPONENTS.
JOHNSON CONTROLS IS THE SOLE PROVIDER OF THIS REQUIRED SYSTEM IN THE FLORIDA KEYS
AREA.
DELIVERY: WITHIN 180 DAYS FROM DATE OF AWARD.

SUCH REQUESTS AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE
EVALUATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO CONDUCT THIS
PROCUREMENT ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS. A DETERMINATION BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO CONDUCT A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO
THIS NOTICE.
