1 year of coverage of the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and Building Automation System (BAS)

The US EPA's Office of Research and Development, specifically the Groundwater Characterization and Restoration Division, is seeking a limited-source justification for a new firm-fixed price contract. The contract, valued at an estimated $500,000, is for one year of maintenance and repair services for the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and Building Automation System (BAS) at the Main Building, Annex, and Library Conference Center. Johnson Controls, Inc. is identified as the sole source capable of providing these services due to their proprietary Metasys Building Automation System equipment. The EPA will assume control of these systems on September 28, 2025, after the expiration of the current 25-year Energy Savings Performance Contract. Market research was not conducted as Johnson Controls, Inc. is the only authorized provider for Metasys equipment maintenance. The contracting officer has certified the justification as accurate and complete, affirming that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable.
