The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for awarding a sole-source contract to State Electric Supply Company for ABB Electrical Equipment Maintenance and Emergency Services at the CJIS Campus in Clarksburg, WV.

The contract spans five years, consisting of one base year and four one-year options, and includes preventive and emergency maintenance for critical power distribution systems, which are vital to the operational integrity of the CJIS facilities.
