AI Contract Overview
This contract represents a sole source, firm-fixed-price procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically under solicitation number 36C24126Q0334, for a construction-related upgrade project at the Providence VA Medical Center in Rhode Island. The acquisition involves the upgrade of the existing Pegasus Physical Access Control System (PACS) to the proprietary C-Cure 9000 system from Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) with a total contract value of $85,905. The sole source justification is driven by the proprietary nature of the C-Cure 9000 system and associated hardware/software, which requires installation, configuration, and programming exclusively by JCI-certified technicians to maintain system compatibility and operational integrity. Due to the technical exclusivity and lack of an alternative source, this acquisition is conducted under the FAR 6.103 series provisions allowing for other than full and open competition. Performance of the contract is set for the Providence, Rhode Island location, with the contracting office situated in Togus, Maine. No detailed delivery schedule, invoicing methods, or packaging and marking requirements are specified; however, careful handling by certified personnel is implied given the proprietary equipment involved. Contract administration designates Ronald Fantasia as the Contracting Officer and Robert Palmer as the certifying official, without identification of a formal COR or COTR. The contract is structured as a sole-source set-aside under the SDVOSB program, although Johnson Controls, Inc.’s socioeconomic status is not documented. No formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or detailed quality standards beyond adherence to proprietary JCI specifications and FAR 6.103 authorities are cited. The public posting of the sole source justification ensures transparency, acknowledging that no competition exists due to exclusive vendor control, and the procurement includes no options, amendments, or modifications beyond the base scope.
