Solicitation Waiver, Building Automation System

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of a Building Automation System by the State of Nevada Department of Administration. The State is issuing a Solicitation Waiver to directly contract with the incumbent vendor, Siemens Industry, Inc., rather than conducting a formal competitive solicitation process. The contract will involve the installation, programming, and maintenance of an integrated building automation system to control and monitor HVAC, lighting, access, and other systems across multiple state facilities. The base contract period is 5 years, with two 1-year renewal options. Pricing will be based on a fixed monthly service fee as well as time and materials for any project-specific work. The State estimates the total contract value to be $4.5 million, with funding provided through the general operating budget.

This contract is not subject to any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Siemens Industry, Inc. is the incumbent vendor, and the contract will require integration with existing building infrastructure and technology. The State is waiving the competitive solicitation process due to Siemens' incumbency and the need for a seamless transition and continued operation of the critical building automation systems.
