5998--BAS-METASYS CONTROLLER FOR CENTRAL MONITORING

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Central Alabama Veterans Health Care system, is preparing to issue a solicitation by December 10, 2025, for the procurement of BAS-Metasys Controllers to integrate with existing Building Automation System equipment at the VA Medical Center in Montgomery, Alabama. Prospective offerors must submit their proposals no later than December 24, 2025, by 12 PM EST to the designated contracting officer. The solicitation requests commercial products, specified mainly as control panel assemblies with specified features, to support central monitoring and ensure integration with current systems monitoring room pressures and airflow within multiple VA facilities. The contract will be awarded on a best-value trade-off basis, evaluating factors such as price, technical capability, and past performance, with an emphasis on compliance with rigorous federal, VA-specific, and security-related requirements. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and VAAR clauses addressing standard commercial terms, security prohibitions, labor standards, supply chain integrity, and subcontracting obligations, including prohibitions on specified foreign telecommunications and video surveillance equipment to ensure compliance with national security mandates. Deliveries are to be made to the VA Medical Center in Montgomery, with the Government responsible for inspection and final acceptance upon delivery. Invoicing and payments will be processed electronically through the VA Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System (EIPPS). Offerors must provide required representations and certifications such as Unique Entity Identifiers and CAGE codes, though these were not populated in the available materials. The solicitation explicitly forbids use of certain foreign-made equipment, requires compliance with ethical and labor standards, and includes provisions for service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned small business evaluation factors. The contract does not specify detailed pricing or option year details but allows for price adjustments consistent with labor standards in multi-year contracts, underscoring the Government’s intent to procure quality integrated control systems under stringent regulatory and security oversight.
