501, Services for Executive Agencies; and Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 (PL 107-107) and implemented by FAR 8.405-6. Mark the applicable exception:

An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A);

Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized;

(FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B));

In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order and the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The original order was not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures (FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C)); or

Items peculiar to one manufacturer. An item peculiar to one manufacturer can be a particular brand name, product, or a feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer).

A brand name item, whether available on one or more schedule contracts, is an item peculiar to one manufacturer (FAR 8.405-6(b)).

5. Rationale/explanation to support cited authority:

6. Note that this determination satisfies the requirements of FAR 8.405-6. The requirement to prepare a written justification IAW FAR 6.303 does not apply to Federal Supply Schedules.

Only one source: Siemens Desigo is a proprietary software system that overlays the building management systems at this facility.

When the last two major construction projects at this site were bid, the Building Management system was solicited as an open bid item. At the time the facility had two smaller and independent systems the Major construction projects were wholly replacing or upgrading those systems. Facility now has one common integrated system.

For higher level elements of the building management system, only Siemens can provide the materials necessary to properly and fully communicate and function with the existing system. Example: Facility control panel. Control modules for Siemens control panels. Server and ALL software.

Exceptions to need to sole source: Terminal devices capable of communication via bacnet protocol and built with an open architecture may be utilized on the existing controls system. Example(s): control panels for specific equipment, damper actuators, valve actuators and various types of sensors.

Chiller Controls will be JCI and the chillers are manufactured by York/JCI https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-8-required-sources-supplies-and-services https://www.acquisition.gov/content/part-6-competition-requirements
