About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England has issued a Notice of Intent regarding a sole source procurement for Johnson Controls Electronic Security Systems at the VA West Haven Campus. This Special Notice, posted on February 4, 2026, announces the agency's intent to procure a brand name requirement for Johnson Controls systems as part of the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project. The procurement encompasses access control card readers, door contacts, controllers, motion sensors, video surveillance cameras, DVRs, and duress buttons. The agency is exercising authority under FAR 6.103-1 to pursue a sole source acquisition based on brand name justification. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a market research tool designed to identify alternative qualified sources that can meet the specified requirements.
The primary objective of this Notice of Intent is to determine whether other manufacturers can provide security systems capable of achieving the full integration and single point monitoring capabilities required by the VA. The agency emphasizes that security systems are proprietary and do not interoperate across different manufacturers, creating patient safety and staff security concerns if multiple systems were implemented across the campus. Responses to this notice must be submitted within 15 days of posting, with all submissions received by February 19, 2026 being considered by the Government. There are no set-asides applied to this procurement, and no compensation will be provided for information submitted in response to this notice. While this notice establishes the Government's intent to pursue Johnson Controls specifically, the Government will evaluate any credible alternative sources that can demonstrate equivalent capability to provide fully integrated electronic security systems for the facility.
Notice text
Under the authority of FAR 6.103-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, a brand name requirement for the Johnson Controls systems in the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus.
The security system includes access control card readers, door contacts, controllers, motion sensors, Video Surveillance camera, DVRs, and duress buttons. The current security system has servers in the data center and control panels/power supplies in the local Telecommunications Rooms (TR’s).
The current security system is a Johnson Controls system throughout the campus. The system is monitored in the Security Control Center. The security system needs to communicate throughout the facility as the system is monitored in the security control center. The system will need to have full integration for this single point monitoring to be achieved. Camera, card readers, motion sensors and duress buttons will need to be fully integrated into the existing system to provide the monitoring required by the VA.
Security Systems are proprietary systems that do not talk to each other. Having different security systems in different areas risks the health and safety of patients and staff at VA West Haven. The only way to provide full integration and single point monitoring is to provide a system that is comprised of one manufacturer.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability of other qualified sources that can meet the requirements identified above and inherent with the referenced Johnson Controls system. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice of intent. All responses received within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government to require the brand name for the Johnson Controls system for the VA West Haven procurement based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determine whether to allow alternate system manufacturers.
Submit responses within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent via email to: tyler.s.maryak@usace.army.mil and CC erin.e.bradley@usace.army.mil (list "W912WJ26X1B68 – JCI ESS " in the subject line of the email).
