The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Network Contracting Office 23, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price contract for fire system upgrades and semi-annual inspections of Simplex Fire Alarm Systems to Johnson Controls, Inc. This contract, which will be effective from January 1, 2025, to December 30, 2026, is necessitated by the proprietary nature of the existing fire alarm systems, which require upgrades that seamlessly integrate with current infrastructure. The services provided by Johnson Controls are critical for maintaining operational safety and compliance within VA healthcare facilities. Interested vendors may submit capability statements to Marie N. Weathers at marie.weathers@va.gov by October 9, 2024, although the VA anticipates that only Johnson Controls can fulfill the requirements outlined in this presolicitation notice.
