- Description
- The future solicitation for the THULE EMCS Phase 2 will be restricted in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(4) International Agreement, to Danish and Greenlandic firms ONLY as a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation. Only the components described below will be sole source, if no other sources are identified that can provide an equivalent system. In the event no equivalent sources are found, the brand name only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval for sole sourcing. Supplies of the brand name component will be provided directly to the Contractor(s) and not to the Government This notification serves three (3) purposes: A. To notify potential Offerors of the Governments intent to solicit a brand name(s) only component for this project. B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item. �C. Notification of the Army�s intent to solicit brand name components as described below. (1) TREND Control System (estimated cost = $365,000): Thule AB is a remote, solitary military installation in Northern Greenland providing support for variety of military missions. The facility infrastructure is critical to its existence and ability to function efficiently. Therefore, several energy optimization projects have been undertaken to provide the base with most efficient systems. The existing EMCS installed during the Phase 1 Upgrade is based on Trend Controls system, which utilizes both BACnet and Trend LAN as communication protocols. However, the local systems in the buildings are mostly communicating using Trend LAN, a proprietary communication protocol by Trend Controls. To achieve seamless integration required in UFC 3-410-02, Direct Digital Control for HVAC and Other Building Control Systems, and UFGS Section 25 10 10, Utility Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) Front End and Integration, the existing EMCS front-end software by Trend Controls must be used to configure the new system being added and any additional software and tools provided shall be by Trend Controls. The base will be able to maximize utilization of existing government-licensed Trend front-end software to configure and program the controllers is and only if the proposed EMCS expansion follows the same protocol. Given the remoteness of the site and the associated risk (if other manufacturers were to be integrated), the Base is unwilling to jeopardize its infrastructure controls to fail, this could very easily result in loss of property and endanger installation inhabitants, especially during winter season. Any vendor that wishes to provide an alternate source to the brand names above that is compatible with the above must provide a response with data supporting the claim within 15 business days of this announcement to New York District Corps of Engineering, Contracting Division. This is a market survey and notification of intent only. This is not a request to respond to a solicitation. This requirement will be solicited at a future date.
