Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS V MATOC) Capacity Increase

The Utility Monitoring and Controls System (UMCS V) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) has been modified to increase its total shared capacity from $2.1 billion to $2.591 billion to support continued mission-critical utility monitoring and control services across Department of Defense installations nationwide and overseas. This increase applies to 19 contractors, including major firms such as Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, KBRwyle, M.C. Dean, and several small businesses like Ameresco, Chinook Systems, and SEI Group, all of whom have had their individual task order contracts adjusted to reflect the expanded ceiling. The contract, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Huntsville Engineering and Support Center, operates as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle with performance extending through January 21, 2027, and an administratively approved six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8 to bridge through July 31, 2027, ensuring seamless continuity until the successor UMCS VI contract is awarded in March 2027. Services encompass the full lifecycle of building automation systems, including design, installation, cybersecurity integration, energy conservation, and sustainment of utility infrastructure with compliance to DoD risk management and Authority to Operate standards. Pricing is determined at the task order level, with no certified cost or pricing data required, as services are treated as commercial items under FAR. The procurement was conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 due to the specialized nature of the work and the risk of unacceptable delays if incumbents were replaced. Subcontracting goals require 20% participation by small businesses, including specific targets for small disadvantaged, women-owned, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, though individual contractor socioeconomic certifications are not disclosed. The contract does not specify detailed packaging, invoicing methods, payment offices, or inspection checklists, and evaluation for award was non-price-based, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and risk over cost. All work is performed at government installations across CONUS and OCONUS, with final acceptance resting with the government.
