About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Acquisition & Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Norfolk, has awarded a sole-source contract to Johnson Controls Building Solutions for Johnson Controls Metasys Building Automation System (BAS) components and related installation and commissioning services on behalf of the National Ocean Service Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
NOAA operates an enterprise BAS standardized on Johnson Controls Metasys manufactured components. The sole-source determination rests on the technical requirement that core component parts must be Metasys brand to integrate with and be managed by NOAA's central Metasys administration software. The current system operates on Windows 8, which is no longer a supported operating system; the upgrade must use Metasys components to maintain compatibility with the enterprise BAS infrastructure. NOAA stated that a "brand name or equal" procurement approach cannot be used because non-Metasys components are not compatible with the existing system and cannot be modified to meet agency needs. Without continued expansion using Johnson Controls Metasys parts, NOAA cannot manage, maintain, monitor, and control access to its federally owned and leased spaces. The contract was negotiated under FAR 12.102(a). Place of performance is the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Johnson Controls is identified as the sole GSA contract holder with Metasys BAS components.
