J041--RFQ-SDVOSB-Metasys Building Automation System Johnson Controls Services

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate solicitation will not be issued.
Solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Metasys Building Automation System (BAS) Controls Services for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC), Houston, Texas. The requirement consists of providing all labor, supervision, OEM-authorized technical support, tools, software, transportation, training, and management necessary to perform operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, programming, calibration, optimization, database management, reporting, and support services for the Government-owned Johnson Controls Metasys Building Automation System and associated HVAC Building Service Equipment.
This acquisition is being conducted as a 100 percent Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS 238220, Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. The principal purpose of this acquisition is the provision of commercial building automation system (BAS) and HVAC controls operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, programming, optimization, repair, calibration, reporting, training, and technical support services for an existing Government-owned Johnson Controls Metasys Building Automation System and associated Building Service Equipment. Although classified under NAICS 238220, this acquisition is being solicited and administered as a commercial services contract and is not a construction contract.
This acquisition does not limit competition to Johnson Controls as the prime contractor. Competition is permitted among eligible SDVOSBs capable of providing the required services, including through documented arrangements for necessary OEM support, software access, training verification, and compatible parts. Because performance necessarily requires support of the Government-owned Johnson Controls Metasys system, the contract file includes the applicable justification supporting use of Metasys-specific features and compatibility requirements.
