About this opportunity
EPA Region 10 Laboratory has awarded a sole-source task order to Siemens Industry, Inc. under GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract GS-07F-217CA for Laboratory Room & Fume Hood Controls Installation services at an estimated value of $1,154,200.
The procurement is justified under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii) on the basis that Siemens is the only source capable of providing the required products and services due to the proprietary nature of the installed Siemens Building Automation System platform. The system comprises proprietary controllers, firmware, embedded control logic, native programming tools, and communication protocols requiring OEM-level access. This work constitutes Phase 2 of a BAS modernization project and involves retrofit and replacement of existing control hardware, integration with the existing Siemens infrastructure, and recommissioning of laboratory airflow control systems across the Chemical, Biological, and Metals laboratory wings. EPA conducted market research including review of historical purchases and searches of mandatory government sources (PPMS, UNICOR, Ability One, EPA Mandatory Common Contract Solutions), as well as two Requests for Information issued May 7, 2026, and June 8, 2026. The first RFI received no responses; the second received three responses (West Advanced Solutions LLC, Hirt Electric, and RV Global Solutions Inc.), but EPA determined Siemens remained the only responsible source. The period of performance is 12 months. Continuity with Phase 1 efforts, access to Siemens' proprietary validation platform, and avoidance of substantial duplication of costs and schedule delays (projected at two to four times higher and 12–24 months respectively) supported the sole-source determination. The justification was approved by Joan B. Rogers, OFA-OCPO Senior Policy Advisor, on July 30, 2026.
