99 -- Energy Management Computer Systems

The 11th Contracting Squadron at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. plans to award a simplified acquisition purchase order on a sole source basis to Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. for the maintenance of Energy Management Computer Systems (EMCS) located in Building 370 and Hangar 1. Siemens is the exclusive owner of the software copyright used in these systems, making them uniquely qualified for this contract. The contract is scheduled for award around mid-October 2004, with all inquiries being directed in writing rather than by telephone. This procurement falls under NAICS code 811212 and is managed by the Department of Defense through the 316th Contracting Squadron at JB Andrews, Maryland. The contracting specialist responsible for this acquisition is Jerome D. Brown, who can be contacted via email or phone for additional information. The contract emphasizes the proprietary nature of the software and underscores the sole source justification to maintain the EMCS infrastructure critical to the operational needs at Bolling AFB.
