The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to award a sole-source contract for maintenance and support services of the C-CURE 9000 security systems at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System locations in West Haven and Newington. This procurement is necessitated by the requirement for proprietary services that can only be provided by Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI), the sole authorized dealer of the software, ensuring that critical security systems are maintained by factory-certified technicians. The contract is vital for upholding high security standards at VA facilities, and interested parties may express their interest and submit supporting documents to the Contracting Officer, Nathan Langone, by February 21, 2025, to determine if a competitive procurement process is warranted.
