Test Support Equipment Control and Monitoring Systems (TSECMS)
The Department of War intends to award a sole-source contract to Siemens Industry Inc. for Test Support Equipment Control and Monitoring Systems (TSECMS) services at Edwards Air Force Base. The requirement covers maintenance, support, and upgrades for Siemens proprietary building automation and HVAC control systems, including legacy panel architecture and diagnostic tools restricted to Siemens factory personnel. Market research concluded that third-party or GSA-based alternatives are technically unviable because non-OEM entities lack access to proprietary tools, would void OEM warranties/support, and could introduce unacceptable mission and life-safety risks. The scope must remain unified under Siemens to ensure system integrity, emergency response, and Tier-3 OEM escalation for active aircraft test support operations. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, though responsible sources may submit a capability statement for agency consideration.
