About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District has issued a Special Notice announcing the sole source award of a firm fixed price GSA Federal Supply Schedule task order to Siemens Industry Inc. for access control and camera systems maintenance. This is not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, but rather a formal notification that the government has already determined to award this contract directly to Siemens. The contract is valued at approximately $545,000 and covers comprehensive maintenance and repair services for security systems at the district headquarters. The procurement will utilize commercial-off-the-shelf solutions through GSA's eBuy system under FAR Parts 8 and 12 procedures. Questions regarding this notice must be directed exclusively via email to Contract Specialist Mrs. Taylor Brandon, with phone calls and voicemails explicitly prohibited.
The sole source justification is based on Siemens being the only vendor with certified technicians authorized to maintain the proprietary software and systems that were originally installed by the company. The contract spans five years from October 2025 through September 2030, including a base year and four option years for maintaining computers, software, servers, cameras, card readers, control systems, monitors, and associated security equipment. Market research confirmed that only Siemens Certified Technicians possess the necessary access and expertise to service these proprietary systems, making competitive procurement impractical. The government's primary objective is to ensure system reliability and maintain the safety of district personnel through proper maintenance of the existing security infrastructure. Previous contracts with Siemens have been executed successfully without performance issues, supporting the decision for continued sole source procurement. The notice deadline for comments is October 27, 2025, though this represents a notification period rather than a competitive opportunity for other contractors.
