Brand Name JandA B301 controller replacement_CO signed_redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for the replacement of failed, degraded, and obsolete HVAC controllers at Building B301. The contracting activity is 55 CONS/PKB at Offutt AFB, and the project requires Honeywell N4 product line controllers to maintain compatibility with the existing base-wide HVAC control system and building management system (EBI).

The justification explains that while controllers could theoretically be vendor-neutral using BACNET protocols, Honeywell equipment is required to avoid extensive retraining and system overhaul costs. The base's existing infrastructure uses Honeywell Control Systems for remote monitoring across multiple buildings, and changing to another vendor would require significant maintenance personnel training and software/hardware modifications. Only Honeywell or its authorized partners can program or modify the proprietary EBI system graphics. The document is signed by Contracting Officer Austin D. Palrang/TSgt on November 19, 2024, who determined under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) that single source procurement is reasonably justified.
