Intent to Sole Source - BAS Albireo System.pdf
Apr 8, 2025, 7:08 PM UTC
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeks to procure maintenance services for the Albireo Building Automation System (BAS) at the FBI Academy. This request, justified under 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1), involves a sole-source contract with Albireo due to their proprietary technology and specialized systems. The required services include operator coaching, systematic preventative maintenance, system backup, emergency support, and software maintenance involving significant expertise that only certified Albireo technicians possess. Previous market research affirmed the lack of alternative qualified vendors due to Albireo's unique technology and necessary licensing, necessitating this non-competitive procurement process. The estimated acquisition cost will be assessed to ensure it remains fair and reasonable. The FBI plans to continue evaluating the market for potential future acquisitions. This initiative underscores the FBI's investment in ensuring the operational integrity and security of its facility management systems through exclusive reliance on trained Albireo personnel.
