About this opportunity
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking onsite engineering and technical maintenance support for its central utility plant grid system at the Research Triangle Park campus. The contract focuses on maintaining the installed ABB Distributed Control System (DCS), specifically the Harmony Infi-90 System with Bridge Rack Controllers that control chilled water (CHW) and high-temperature hot water (HTHW) distribution. The requirement involves specialized technical support for a complex proprietary control system that demands highly trained engineers familiar with ABB's Symphony+ software and system configuration. Currently, the government intends to sole-source this contract to ABB Inc. under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, citing them as the only responsible source for this specialized maintenance. Interested vendors may submit capability statements to andrew.gathogo@nih.gov by January 17, 2025, although this pre-solicitation notice is not a formal request for proposals.
The contract opportunity is not designated with any specific set-aside status and falls under the NAICS category 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. While the precise contract value is not specified in the documents, the sole-source notice indicates this is a campus-wide system maintenance contract requiring ongoing technical support. The current notice suggests a potential multi-year arrangement with ABB Inc. as the primary contractor, given the specialized nature of the control system and the government's intent to sole-source the contract. The maintenance services will cover the entire NIH Research Triangle Park campus infrastructure, supporting critical utility distribution systems through continuous technical and engineering support. The contract's timeline appears to align with the posted and due dates of December 30, 2024, and January 17, 2025, respectively, indicating an imminent procurement process.
