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 to award a sole-source contract for Siemens HVAC Building Automation and Temperature Controls for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus, CT. This notice serves as a market research tool to identify other qualified sources. Responses are due February 18, 2026.
Purpose & Justification
USACE intends to procure Siemens controls due to the existing VA West Haven campus's reliance on Siemens Controls for its Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant and a new Boiler Plant project. Integrating the new chiller plant with the current Siemens system will provide a single, unified control option for all campus steam and chilled water generating equipment. This allows VA personnel to monitor all utility plants from a single location, ensuring efficient operation and avoiding significant complications that would arise from integrating disparate systems or managing a separate, stand-alone system.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement includes the installation of a Siemens Controls building automation system, which is a network of sensors and control devices. This system provides infrastructure to control and monitor Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Telecommunications (MEPT) systems. Specific equipment includes, but is not limited to, sensors, controllers, actuators, communication protocols, and user interfaces. Device quantities are subject to change as the design develops.
