Notice of Intent to Sole Source - BCS EMCS Controller Upgrade

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE The 502d Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole source purchase to BUILDING CONTROLS AND SOLUTIONS (Cage Code: 938B0), 2241 Valwood PKWY STE 200, Dallas, TX 75234 for the purchase of Vykon JACEs for the 502d Civil Engineering Group (502 CES) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). The Vycom Controllers utilize a distinct communication interface module that properly communicate to the existing management servers.

Vycom Controllers supports the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) that is utilized throughout JBSA-Lackland and utilizing a different vendor will introduce technology that is incompatible with current operating procedures and training. If the new controllers are mis-programmed or experience firmware issues, it is imperative that the vendor be able to effectively trouble any communication issues. The Government intends to purchase the following supplier items with Software Management Agreements from BUILDING CONTROLS AND SOLUTIONS:
