The ultimate goal is to interface these meters with the front-end ION Enterprise server at Central Office through the GSA IP network. Installed meters will follow requirements as stated within the 'Recommendation for Energy Meter Communications Requirements' document provided by Schneider Electric. Schneider Project Number: 22298311. Negotiations shall be conducted pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1. ARRA funds used for this contract will cover a period of performance from September 2010 to July 2012. The estimated cost of this contract is $120,000. This contract will be awarded on a sole source basis as only one source is capable of providing this interface with the front end ION Enterprise. The ION EEM software is a proprietary product of Schneider currently resides on a server at National Office and is behind the GSA firewall. This software serves as the Advanced Metering System by collecting and storing energy data as well as performing many valuable analysis functions. The purpose of this procurement is to integrate regionally metered data into the ION EEM software through Schneider. The integration will allow the software to ping the meters at set intervals to collect and store data on the national server. GSA owns the license for this software system. Due to the scope of the effort being performed using these ARRA funds, a sole source procurement is the most appropriate contractual vehicle for the effort required. This acquisition is subject to the North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code of 238210.
