Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the 257-Network Contract Office 17, is soliciting proposals for the Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) project (Project No. 674-22-805) at the Temple and Waco Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs). This Firm Fixed-Price construction opportunity, estimated between $10,000,000.00 and $20,000,000.00, involves upgrading HVAC and related systems to a digital control system on the Metasys BACNET MSTP network. The solicitation is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Proposals are due by April 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM Z.

Scope of Work

The project requires the replacement of existing HVAC control devices with Johnson Controls (JCI) Metasys devices, installation of new PCs and portable operator terminals (POT), and provision of new control cabinets. It also includes replacing existing wall-mounted fan coil units and pressure-dependent dual duct VAVs with their controls, and updating fire alarm panel programming as needed. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, testing, and commissioning. A Justification and Approval (J&A) confirms this as a "Brand-Name Only" acquisition for Johnson Controls' Metasys N2 protocol control devices due to the need to integrate with the existing BAS and avoid substantial duplication of cost and delay.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price
  • Period of Performance: 548 calendar days after Notice to Proceed
  • Estimated Value: Between $10,000,000.00 and $20,000,000.00
  • NAICS Code: 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction ($45,000,000.00 size standard)
