About this file
This document outlines the justification for sole source procurement of certain products and services for the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center construction project. Specifically, the facility requires fire alarm annunciation equipment from Simplex 4100ES, security systems and card readers from PACS and Lenel, building automation and HVAC control systems from Johnson Controls Metasys, and door hardware and locksets from Best to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure. Procuring matching components from these incumbent vendors minimizes maintenance costs, inventory requirements, and interface issues while maintaining patient safety, security, and staff familiarity. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number 36C77623B0031 for the nutrition and food services clinic addition at the Louis A. Johnson VAMC issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin.

a. Fire Alarm Annunciation Equipment
i. Simplex 4100ES
ii. Impact: The fire alarm system will activate alarms within the building to alert occupants that assistance may be required. Installation of a system that interfaces properly with the existing system will ensure patient safety is maintained at the highest level. Additionally, installation of components that match the existing fire alarm system minimizes maintenance costs and bench stock requirements. No other system will integrate with our existing fire protection system. It is necessary to match the existing system to ensure there are no interface problems and that system operation and maintenance is maintained to ensure patient and worker safety.
b. Security System
i. PACS Security System/ Lenel Card Readers
ii. Impact: The security system is active throughout campus working 24x7, allowing for entry to space pending the credentials on the PIV card. Installation of a system that interfaces properly with the existing system will ensure patient safety, and security to mitigate security threats inside facilities and outside on hospital grounds and parking lots, exterior entry doors, room entry areas, including visitor and staff Access Control Systems, Panic Alarm Systems and more. PACS is the current campus-wide product installed for a single security control system. The equipment to be installed will be monitored and controlled by VA Police on an existing PACS Security system. An incompatible system may require installation of new “front-end” and remote workstations as well as new software and programming.
Additionally, installation of components that match the existing building automation system minimizes maintenance costs and bench stock requirements. It is necessary to match the existing system to ensure there are no interface problems or impacts to patient safety and familiarity of the product to the staff and maintenance personnel. This is the only way to ensure complete compatibility and that the campus will not have two security systems.
Electronic specialty installs and maintains all PACS equipment.

Johnson Controls Metasys control system is the campus-wide building and HVAC control system. An incompatible system may require installation of new “front-end” and remote workstations as well as new software and programming.
Additionally, installation of components that match the existing building automation system minimizes maintenance costs and bench stock requirements. It is necessary to match the existing system to ensure there are no interface problems, impacts to patient safety and familiarity of the product to the staff and maintenance personnel. This is the only way to ensure complete compatibility and that the campus will not have two HVAC control systems.
d. Door Hardware
i. Best Locksets and hardware
ii. Impact: This product, Best locksets and hardware, is the only product that allows for a single Lock Core system for the Louis A Johnson VAMC. An incompatible system will not work with the existing door hardware. Additionally, installation of components that match the existing Door hardware and locksets minimizes maintenance costs and bench stock requirements. It is necessary to match the existing system to ensure there are no problems, impacts to patient safety and familiarity of the product to the staff and maintenance personnel. This is the only way to ensure complete compatibility and that the campus will not have two Door
