4. Demonstration that the Contractor’s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority):

These items have been standardized throughout the IIIiana VAMC. Installing a different manufacturers’ system will create significant duplication in cost for the facility, and in most cases the equipment will not function properly. The specific impact for not using the brand name items is listed below:

Fire Alarm Annunciation Equipment Simplex/Grinnell 4100 Series Impact: Currently the Simplex/Grinnell 4100 Series brand fire detection system is installed throughout the VAIHCS campus to provide facility fire detection and automatic alarm notification to a 24-hour monitoring service in the event of an alarm activation. It is necessary that all fire detection components (fire alarm control panel, fire alarm remote annunciator, smoke detectors, duct smoke detectors, and strobes & horns) added onto the existing system match the brand to facilitate proper communication of additional devices and networking capability. Expansion of the existing system to cover new construction will insure compatibility and provide for seamless interface of the equipment while enhancing operability since personnel are already trained in maintenance and system operation. Supportability of the added system in the Construct Two New Green Homes 7 & 8 will be accomplished with minimal investment in the existing system’s single standardized parts inventory.

Physical Access Control System S2 Brand Security System

Impact: Currently an S2 brand Physical Access Control System (PACS) is installed throughout the VAIHCS campus to provide facility physical access control and alarm notification to a 24-hour monitoring service in the event of an alarm activation. It is necessary that all PACS components (application software, system database, surge and tamper protection, controllers, keypads, card readers, system sensors push button switches, interfaces, door and gate hardware interfaces, RS-232 ASCII interface, and video and camera control) added onto the existing system be compatible with the existing S2 brand to facilitate proper communication of additional devices and networking capability. Expansion of the existing system to cover new construction will insure compatibility and provide for seamless interface of the equipment while enhancing operability since personnel arealready trained in maintenance and system operation.

HVAC Controls Johnson Controls Direct-Digital Control System Impact: Currently the Johnson Controls brand direct-digital control system for HVAC is installed throughout the VAIHCS campus to provide control and monitoring of various HVAC components. It is necessary that the HVAC controls communications network and controllers added onto the existing system match the brand to facilitate proper communication of additional devices and networking capability. Expansion of the existing system to cover new construction will insure compatibility and provide for seamless interface of the equipment while enhancing operability since personnel are already trained in maintenance and system operation. Supportability of the added system in the Construct Two New Green Homes 7 & 8 will be accomplished with minimal additional investment in the existing system’s single standardized parts inventory.

Locksets Yale Impact: Currently the Yale brand interchangeable core keying system is installed throughout VAIHCS main campus and CBOC facilities. It is necessary that all lockset hardware components added onto the existing system match the brand to facilitate proper interchangeability under the current VAIHCS great grandmaster keying system. Supportability of the added locksets in the I Construct Two New Green Homes 7 & 8 will be accomplished with minimal additional investment in the existing system’s single standardized parts inventory.

e. Hydro Therapy Equipment

i. Arjo Hydro Therapy Tub

ii. Impact: Currently the existing Small Home (SH) Model units have researched and procured this type unit for all Small Homes. Expansion of the existing Hydro Therapy fixture to cover newconstruction will insure compatibility and provide for seamless interface of the equipment while enhancing operability since personnel are already trained in the units medical use and benefits, maintenance and system operation.

f. Patient Lift

i. Arjo Maxy Sky 1000 Ceiling Mounted Patient Lift

ii. Impact: Currently the existing Small Home (SH) Model units have researched and procured this type unit for all Small Homes. Expansion of the existing Hydro Therapy fixture to cover new construction will insure compatibility and provide for seamless interface of the equipment while enhancing operability since personnel are already trained in the units medical use and benefits, maintenance and system operation.

5. Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable:

In accordance with the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA), the components listed above are identified as brand name; however, the overall procurement will be competed as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. This Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition will be posted to Contract Opportunities with the solicitation.

6. Determination by the Contracting Officer (CO) that the Anticipated Cost to the Government will be Fair and Reasonable:

The Government estimate was prepared and provided by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The anticipated price to the Government for the items requested to be brand name is approximately The items for which brand name approval is being requested are subsequent components to the overall construction project. This procurement will be competed and based on competition; the CO will make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing prior to award.

7. Description of the Market Research Conducted and the Results, or a Statement of the Reasons Market Research Was Not Conducted:

The market research for the equipment was conducted and prepared by the COR and shared with the CO for further review. The CO was in concurrence with information provided that supported the brand name items. Approval of the items as brand name only is critical for the overall efficiency of the completed project and the IIIiana VAMC, as a whole.

8. Any Other Facts Supporting the Use of Other than Full and Open Competition:

New components must be able to tie into an existing and operational system including the use of software. At this time, there are no competing vendors whose products are fully compatible with the existing systems being used at the IIIiana VAMC.

9. Listing of Sources that Expressed, in Writing, an Interest in the Acquisition:

Not applicable. It is the responsibility of the offerors, and the general contractor awarded the project to locate suppliers and obtain pricing for all materials and components, including the items listed in this justification.
