AI Contract Overview

The General Services Administration (GSA), Region 8, plans to award a sole source contract to Siemens Industry, Inc. for the purchase and programming of advanced water, gas, and BTU meters for certain buildings within the region. Siemens is uniquely qualified to provide these services because the initial installation of the metering system was completed using Siemens' proprietary hardware and software, which are already integrated into the Region 8 facilities. Compatibility with Siemens' existing metering management system is crucial, as their software is exclusive and not available for use by other vendors, making competition unfeasible. The contract involves maintaining and expanding the current Siemens metering infrastructure, ensuring seamless operation and continuity with the proprietary system. The GSA has determined that removing Siemens equipment and replacing it with alternative technologies would be cost-prohibitive and inefficient. The contract is managed through the PBS Region 8 Portfolio Management Division, with the point of contact being Contracting Officer Joan Amend. The work will be performed primarily in Lakewood, Colorado, and the contract is identified under NAICS code 238290.

Full Description

The U.S. General Services Administration, Region 8, PBS intends to issue a Sole Source Award to Siemen's Industry, Inc., 1000 Deerfield Parkway, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 for the purchase and license programming of Water, Gas and BTU meters for select buildings in Region 8. Siemen's is the only qualified source to provide the services required. The initial installation and programming of the metering data at the locations in Region 8 were completed utilizing a Siemens metering management system. Siemens metering hardware and software have been installed in the buildings in Region 8. The gas and water metering systems must be compatible with this software. Siemen's software is proprietary and unavailable for use to other potential offerors. It would not be cost effective to remove the software and hardware of Siemen's to allow for competition for the entire system.
