J--Johnson Controls Metasys Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs issued this pre-solicitation notice, identifier VA-69D-08-RQ-0633, for the maintenance and emergency repair of the Johnson Controls Metasys System located at the Jesse Brown VAMC. Under the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, the government intends to enter into sole source procurement negotiations with Johnson Controls Systems of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This requirement is classified under NAICS 811310, Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance, and PSC code J.

The anticipated services include both regular maintenance and emergency repairs, which carry specific performance requirements of a two-hour on-site response time and a 24-hour completion time. The government has determined that its minimum needs can best be satisfied by services available from this single source. No solicitation document is available at this time, as the notice serves as an announcement of the intent to negotiate with only one source.

While this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by September 5, 2008. Information received by this deadline will be considered to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, though the final decision remains at the government's discretion. Gregory Danko is the point of contact for this notice.
