This document is a Brand Name Justification for the National Interagency Fire Center 100-Admin Repair solicitation with Solicitation Number 140L0624R0048. The solicitation is for the demolition and renovation of major portions and systems of building 100 Administration at the National Interagency Fire Center, including new office and support spaces, and the addition of two external stair towers. The existing building was constructed in 1968 with numerous small renovations since that time. The Brand Name Justification provides the rationale for the use of the Johnson Controls International (JCI) brand of products and systems, including the HVAC, fire alarm, and security systems. The justification cites the need for compatibility with existing JCI systems, the required training and familiarity of on-site personnel, and the availability of parts and service support as the key drivers for the brand name requirement.
