Trimax Upgrade
This is a sole-source opportunity for Trimax Systems to modernize the electrical, gas, and water control infrastructure at Building 1030, Edwards Air Force Base. The scope includes PLC logic development, HMI/SCADA configuration, cybersecurity compliance, panel assembly, on-site installation, and testing/commissioning. The performance period is estimated at 30 days at the specified location. The sole-source justification relies on Trimax's proprietary PLC/HMI source code; using another vendor would require a full system replacement and duplication of costs up to $500,000. Five vendors expressed interest but were deemed technically unacceptable because they cannot legally obtain the proprietary code.
