Description
The 158th Fighter Wing, South Burlington, VT intends to award a single source contract to Johnson Controls, Inc for a Simplex TSW True site Workstation. The workstation serves as the central incident management system, providing real-time command, control, and graphical monitoring for the squadron's life-safety infrastructure. The contract is for a firm fixed price of $60,000.00. The project involves replacing the existing incident management system for fire alarm controls at the 158th Civil Engineer Squadron, including the workstation and programming to support conversion of existing fire alarm nodes to the new platform.
• The contract is for a proprietary Simplex fire alarm network.
• The required TrueSite Workstation (TSW) and programming must seamlessly integrate with the existing system.
• Introducing a third-party vendor is technically unfeasible and would compromise life-safety compliance.
• The Government previously procured similar Simplex/Johnson Controls components and programming under a sole-source contract.
