Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for Facilities Related Controls Systems

This document is a Class Justification and Approval authorizing the use of brand-name commercial equipment from Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) and Johnson Controls International (JCI) for facility-related control systems at Naval Station Norfolk, issued by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT). The authorization is effective from May 16, 2025 through May 15, 2030, and permits the use of ALC WebCTRL product line and JCI Metasys system family products as programmable building controllers for all projects requiring interface with the identified installation networked facilities control and monitoring system (ALC WebCTRL Building Automation System Network and JCI Metasys BAS Network). The total estimated value for brand-name equipment through May 15, 2030 is redacted in the document. The statutory authority cited is Title 10, U.S.C. Section 3204(a)(1), permitting procurement of supplies or services from a single source when no other sources exist.

The justification rests on standardization and interoperability requirements for existing building control systems at the installation. NAVFAC MIDLANT determined that the specified brand-name controllers are necessary to establish a defensible cybersecurity posture, maintain centralized control and monitoring from a single management station, utilize government-licensed software, avoid substantial cost duplication, and minimize operational burden on maintenance staff. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable. A Sources Sought announcement was issued, yielding two responses; one proposed an alternative system but could not provide full connectivity to existing installed systems, and another response indicated no equivalent substitute products exist. Appendix A lists 35 projected projects utilizing this equipment across fiscal years 2025-2028, with funding types including MILCON and Operations & Maintenance, with individual controller costs redacted.
