BLUF: Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP won a $312,649 fire alarm maintenance contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP a firm-fixed-price purchase order for fire alarm maintenance worth $312,649, signed Sept. 15, 2024. The VA's Network Contract Office 12 issued the award, numbered 36C25224P1037, to the Boca Raton, Florida-based contractor. The period of performance runs through Sept. 14, 2029.

Why it matters: The award was issued on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1, with only one offer received, underscoring the VA's reliance on incumbent contractors for facility fire-safety compliance work. The five-year period of performance signals a recurring maintenance relationship rather than a one-time service call. The win adds to Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP's existing footprint servicing fire-safety and life-safety systems across VA facilities.

By the numbers:

• $312,649 — total obligated value
• $494,115 — potential value including all options
• Sept. 15, 2024 — date signed
• Sept. 14, 2029 — period of performance end date
• 1 — number of offers received

The contract was classified under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services, except Locksmiths) and product/service code H312 (Inspection — Fire Control Equipment). It carried no small-business set-aside designation. The procurement was processed through Network Contract Office 12, one of the VA's regional acquisition hubs, rather than through the agency's central contracting office.
