NOTICE OF INTENT - Sole Source Johnson Controls Fire Detection and Alarm for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus

The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, intends to procure a sole source fire detection and alarm system from Johnson Controls for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus in Connecticut. This procurement is necessary to ensure that the new fire alarm system integrates seamlessly with the existing campus-wide Simplex-Grinnell (now Johnson Controls) system, which is crucial for the safety and monitoring of all buildings on the campus. The installation will include various proprietary devices essential for compliance with safety standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Joint Commission on healthcare safety. Interested parties are invited to submit responses within 15 days of this notice to Tyler Maryak at tyler.s.maryak@usace.army.mil, with a copy to Erin Bradley at erin.e.bradley@usace.army.mil, referencing "W912WJ26X1B67 – JCI Fire Alarm" in the subject line.
