APEX Accelerators are an official government contracting resource for small businesses. Find your local APEX Accelerator (opens in new window) for free government expertise related to contract opportunities.
APEX Accelerators are funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
The APEX Accelerators program was formerly known as the Procurement Technical Assistance Program (opens in new window) (PTAP).
The National Center for Applied Plant Protection (NCAPP) in Laurel, Maryland, is a world reference laboratory for plant diagnostic testing and deals with many complex diseases and pathogens that threaten agricultural and native plants. The BSL-2 and BSL-3 buildings at NCAPP are some of the most complex buildings within APHIS. The building automation control systems at NCAPP are an integral part of the guaranteed quarantine integrity of the specialized buildings and the continuance of the containment of BSL-3AG agricultural plant pathogens and Select Agents required by 7 CFR 331.
The facility’s building automation system is a blend of Distech Controls and American Auto-Matrix requiring service, system review, checkout and system-wide backup. NCAPP experiences control sequence, and temperature/operational stability problems with intermittent sensor reading fluctuations and loss of control/program settings. The maintenance/testing control work is important to keeping this mission critical facility operating smoothly 24/7 to prevent or reduce failures which could greatly affect the operation of the pathogen testing program and possible breach in containment of the Ag Select Agents.
