Attachment 2. J&A Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the Fairchild Air Force Base (AFB) detailing a hardware and software upgrade for the Energy Management Control System (EMCS). The requirement is to replace the existing Alerton Compass EMCS Version 1.6.4 with the newer Ascent Compass Version 2.2.1, which includes two Dell PowerEdge R760xs servers, a Xenon Gold 16-core processor, 128 GB RAM, five 4TB SATA hard drives in RAID 5, dual redundant power supplies, dual gigabit ethernet ports, a BOSS controller card, two 480 GB SSDs in RAID 1, and Windows Server 2022 Standard operating system.

The justification for a single source procurement stems from the current system's end-of-life status and lack of new licensing, with Alerton Controls being the sole authorized provider. The new Ascent Compass system offers critical enhancements including legacy compatibility, advanced data analytics, enhanced cybersecurity, and minimal training impact. The system currently manages 125 buildings, over 19,000 monitoring points, and approximately 15,000 trend logs. The contracting activity is the 92d Contracting Squadron at Fairchild AFB, with the purchase request number FA462025QA970, and the procurement is planned for August 2025 with authorization for both ATS Inland NW (small business) and ATS Automation (large business) to provide the system in Washington State.
