Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a Notice of Intent to procure a Johnson Controls Electronic Security System on a sole-source basis for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus, CT. This is not a request for competitive proposals but market research to identify other qualified sources. Responses are due February 19, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for a brand-name Johnson Controls system to integrate with the existing security infrastructure at the VA West Haven campus. The system includes access control card readers, door contacts, controllers, motion sensors, video surveillance cameras, DVRs, and duress buttons.
