The General Services Administration (GSA), New England Region, Acquisition Management Division, is conducting market research to determine if any Small Business, SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, or 8(a) Small Business concerns have the current relevant qualifications, experience, personnel, and capability to perform the work described herein. The availability of firms who can successfully provide GSA Building Automation Upgrades and Network Integration services in up to 23 (twenty-three) Federally Owned and Operated buildings in New England, please see geographical locations and BAS Platforms. The requirement is for services in support of Niagara integrated Building Monitoring and Control (BMC) systems and otherwise networked advanced metering devices. The region has been migrating its BMC systems into the GSA enterprise network. The typical architecture is to install applications on a virtual server with one server supporting one, or several buildings using the given application. Many of these buildings have utilized Tridium’s Niagara to integrate legacy systems and applications from various vendors. This contract requires support for these applications, systems, and equipment as described herein. This requirement consists of three (3) major functional performance areas, and an indefinite deliverable provision. These major performance areas are: Application Support; Engineering Support; and Building Automation Systems Operations, Maintenance, and Updates Support. This will be a performance-based service contract utilizing commercial item procedures for services in support of Niagara integrated Building Monitoring and Control (BMC) systems and otherwise networked advanced metering devices. This order requires application, engineering, help desk, operations and maintenance, and repair action support for: HVAC control systems integrated onto the GSA network using Niagara. Building and device level networks integrated using Niagara within the region including but not limited to: Alerton, Automated Logic, Delta, Distech, Johnson Controls, Lynxspring, Siemens, and Trane; Ancillary devices (which may be IP or serial) connected to the GSA network; Building Monitoring & Control Systems, and their components, including: actuators, sensors, relays, controllers, and other BMC system related control components necessary to operate building HVAC and other integrated systems; Niagara Analytics Framework as a data acquisition and management tool; Advanced meters, and advanced metering systems. All work must be done within the framework of GSA’s IT standards, managed by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). These standards generally reflect industry and NIST standards. Maintenance of security is critical. BMC systems are within a secured VLAN called the BSN and can communicate out of the BSN only through Citrix Workspace or Citrix Virtual Desktop. Communication into the BSN from a non-GSA computer, or a GSA computer outside the BSN therefore requires the use of Citrix Workspace or Citrix Virtual Desktop. All work will support the BSN console environment as necessary for continuity of operations (COOP). The anticipated award will be a base year of twelve months with four one-year option periods. All qualified Small Businesses are encouraged to respond. The Government will not pay for any information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. One of the main purposes of this Sources Sought Notice is to assist the Contracting Officer in determining if a Set-Aside is the acceptable strategy for the procurement. The Government anticipates a contract award for these services in Fiscal Year 2023. The appropriate NAICS Code is 561210 Facilities Support Services with a size standard of $47 Million dollars.
