The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, issued a Notice of Intent to identify sources for Johnson Controls, Incorporated (JCI) METASYS Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS) for new Operation & Maintenance projects at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. This market survey aims to determine if there are alternative sources available; however, due to the proprietary nature of JCI's software and support for the existing installation—currently covering 5% of BAMC facilities—the government may proceed exclusively with JCI's brand for future solicitations. Interested firms must submit product data and a compliance statement, alongside project history demonstrating capability. Responses are due by 2:00 PM CST on February 27, 2025, emphasizing that this notice does not constitute a request for proposals but seeks information for compliance with requirements. The intent is to ensure mission-critical operations are met effectively through established systems.
