Notice of Intent – Sole Source - Diagnostic test equipment and tools HVAC BAS - PR15255307

The U.S. Consulate General in Merida has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Alabama Controls Inc. for diagnostic test equipment and tools related to the Building Automation System (BAS). The contract opportunity is being managed by the Department of State and involves procurement for a New Consulate Compound located in Merida, Mexico. The estimated contract value is approximately $26,000 USD. The procurement is being pursued under a sole-source justification due to unusual and compelling urgency, with the Contracting Officer determining that awarding directly to Alabama Controls Inc. is in the government's best interest. The procurement is specifically focused on obtaining specialized diagnostic equipment and tools for Facility Management staff.

Contractors interested in this opportunity have seven calendar days from the publication date to submit a capability statement to Mickey Ding at DingMH@state.gov, though the government retains sole discretion on whether to compete the requirement. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-2 and targets very specific diagnostic equipment needed for the BAS at the new consulate compound. Alabama Controls Inc. was selected based on acceptable past performance, compliance with government rates, and the ability to provide unique manufacturer-specific components compatible with the existing BAS design. The place of performance is located at Calle 60 Avenida Prolongacion No. 1, Departamento VM01-D, Via Montejo, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Future actions include documenting system performance, conducting market research, and identifying potential emerging vendors who might become qualified to support the system in subsequent procurement cycles.
