About this file
This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document from the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe, Africa, Central, seeking approval to use non-competitive procurement for Siemens Desigo brand building control systems at Naval Station Rota, Spain. The document justifies sole-source procurement for programmable building controllers, citing critical needs for cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and standardization of facility control systems. The total estimated value is $2,800,000, with an authority expiration date of 10 May 2026.
The justification emphasizes three primary reasons for standardization: improving cybersecurity, enhancing operational effectiveness, and achieving maintenance efficiency. A business case analysis determined that using standardized Siemens Desigo controllers will save the government over $740,000 annually compared to a non-standardized system. The replacement value of existing controllers is approximately $1,200,000. A Sources Sought notice was published in July 2021, and a technical expert review in April 2023 confirmed no significant market changes, effectively validating Siemens as the only viable source for the required building control systems.

CLASS JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL
FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
1.Contracting Activity.
Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe, Africa, Central (EURAFCENT).
2.Description of the Action Being Approved.
Request approval for the use of other than full and open competition, upon the basis of the following class justification and approval (CJ&A) document to use of brand name commercial equipment from Siemens Desigo for Building Control Systems (BCS), a subtype of Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS). This request includes the use of Siemens’s programmable building controllers in contract actions requiring interface with the identified Installation networked facilities controls and monitoring systems at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota (referred to in this document as "the Installation"). Authority to act under this class justification expires on 10 May 2026.
3.Description of Supplies/Services.
Programmable building controllers are necessary to ensure automatic operations of HVAC equipment (i.e. chillers, air handling units, dampers, valves, etc.). Standardized programmable building controllers are required for all projects that require a connection to the identified installation networked facilities control and monitoring system commonly known as the NAVSTA Rota Facilities DDC System.
Standardized controllers are necessary to improve cybersecurity; to increase operational effectiveness and consistency; and to achieve maximum efficiency by eliminating duplicate training, parts, certificates, and support contracts to comply with NAVFACINST 11000.2.
The Siemens Desigo controllers will be configured and programmed using government-licensed Siemens Desigo software. Programmable building controllers include, but are not limited to, network controllers and routers, digital controllers, zone controllers, VAV controllers, unitary and equipment controllers, and expansion modules.
The total estimated value for the use of Siemens Desigo brand name equipment through 10 May 2026 is $2,800,000.
7.Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.
An assessment was performed to determine the number of controllers at the Installation and the replacement value of those controllers. The replacement value of the existing controllers at the Installation is approximately $1,200,000.
Furthermore, a business case analysis was performed which evaluated the lifecycle costs associated with operating a system with standardized controllers versus non-standardized controllers. This analysis determined that the annual cost to maintain a standardized system will save the Government over $740,000 per year as compared to a non-standardized system.
The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this CJ&A will be fair and reasonable. The pricing received in response to the request for proposal will be standardized and should not be more than the pricing as annotated on the GSA schedules for which the pool of contractors already provides pricing. Those prices have already been determined as fair and reasonable through the competitive process. The cost associated with a complete replacement is not practicable or cost effective.
8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.
For the reasons set forth in Section 5, NAVFAC EURAFCENT does not intend to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document through 10 May 2026. NAVFAC EURAFCENT will continue to monitor the controls industry to determine if a universal controller configuration becomes available. If another potential source emerges, NAVFAC EURAFCENT will assess whether sufficient competition exists and compete the action The requirement to use Siemens Desigo software to program Siemens Desigo brand name commercial equipment does not restrict who can install, configure, commission, test, maintain, or operate Siemens Desigo controllers. It is the Government’s position that there are sufficient providers in the competitive market capable of performing these tasks.
