49--Upgrade Building Management System 583-11-162

The Government plans to award a sole source contract to ConServ Building Automation Systems, Inc. for upgrading the Building Management System at the Richard L Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis. This project involves modifying or adding controls to allow flexible time-of-day scheduling for the building’s mechanical systems. The scope includes the design, installation, configuration, testing, training, documentation, and other related services required for the enhanced system. ConServ is uniquely qualified as the only Johnson Controls certified Authorized Building Controls Specialist in Indiana, which is critical to maintaining compatibility with existing software licenses and the current Johnson Controls system. Due to the unique capabilities required and the risk of jeopardizing existing licenses, the Government determined that no other vendor can fulfill these needs, justifying the sole source award under federal acquisition regulations. The notice was publicly posted to gather information on potential competition but is not a solicitation for bids, and no further solicitation will be issued. Interested parties could submit information by a specified deadline for consideration only to verify if competition is feasible, but the Government retains sole discretion on whether to proceed with the sole source contract to ConServ.
