- Description
- Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic, is issuing this Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, quote, and/or invitation for bid. The purpose of this notice is to determine the availability of Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system Direct Digital Controllers with the following salient characteristics from responsible sources: 1. Capability of controlling Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. 2. Capability of being operated using Distech EC-Net software for their configuration and programming to create, modify, and download control programming, database, graphics, and controller configuration files and shall be installed by manufacturer authorized/trained/certified companies and individuals. 3. Capability to connect to the EMCS facilities control and monitoring system at NSA Crane, Crane, Indiana. 4. Capability to obtain and maintain Authority to Operate (ATO) certification in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 8500.01 and DODI 8510.01. BACKGROUND: NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic is working on a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for various projects at NSA Crane, Crane, Indiana. This Class J&A would authorize the inclusion of brand-name specifications, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), for Direct Digital Controllers utilizing Distech EC-Net software for Configuration/Programming and for Connection to the NSA Crane, Crane, Indiana. �It is anticipated that the proposed Class J&A will cover various construction projects from Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 to 2025. �The Distech EC-Net Building Automation System is a type of Direct Digital Controller (DDC) System that monitors and controls the HVAC system for a building. �The Distech EC-Net Building Automation System consists of several hardware components including, but not limited to; building controllers, equipment controllers, central plant controller controllers, room controllers, routers and integrators. �The Distech EC-Net Building Automation System also consists of the software necessary to operate the system in addition to allowing the integration of multiple Siemens Building Automation Systems. �Further technical specifications pertaining to the Distech EC-Net Building Automation System can be found on Distech�s website at: https://www.distech-controls.com/. Based on internal Government research, the following was found to be sufficient preliminary rationale to permit other than full and open competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only One Responsible Source/Limited Number of Sources and No Other Type of Property or Services Will Satisfy the Needs of the Agency. 1. Establish and maintain a defensible cybersecurity posture. 2. Maximize utilization of existing government-licensed Distech software to configure and program the controllers. 3. Maintain installation networked facilities control and monitoring system so that all controllers can be programmed from a central station versus a hybrid system composed of many different controllers and associated configuration/programming software 4. Avoid the significant operational burden and cost of having maintenance and engineering staff become proficient with the configuration, programming, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of controllers from multiple manufacturers. INSTRUCTIONS TO INTERESTED PARTIES: Please note that this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government.
