Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award a sole-source contract to Amaz Consulting for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) programming. This requirement is for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus in New Haven, CT. This NOI is a market research tool to identify if other qualified sources exist. Responses are due by February 19, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project involves integrating new electrical equipment from the chiller plant and utility upgrades into the existing, complex SCADA system at the VA West Haven campus. Amaz Consulting is the pre-approved SCADA programmer for this campus, which utilizes cutting-edge Industrial Control and Automation technology, including model-based SCADA software and a high-performance Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The rationale for sole-sourcing is the critical nature of the existing SCADA system, which controls mission-critical electrical power distribution and generation. Integrating new components requires expert programming knowledge of the unique system to prevent potential near-term (e.g., loss of power to critical hospital systems) or long-term system failures.
