    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole source contract to Johnson Controls Inc. for a Metasys Retrofit project at the Providence VA Medical Center, specifically in Building 32. The project involves the removal of existing non-functional Trane Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems and their replacement with Johnson Controls' Metasys Extended Architecture DDC, which will be integrated into the facility-wide Building Management System (BMS). This upgrade is critical for maintaining operational efficiency and compatibility within the existing Metasys infrastructure, as Johnson Controls holds proprietary rights over the necessary hardware and software, limiting third-party access. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements by January 9, 2026, to Rosangela Pereira at Rosangela.Pereira@va.gov, as the VA seeks to determine if competitive procedures could be utilized for this acquisition, although the final decision on competition remains at the government's discretion.
