CJandA ML 25 03 Class FRCS Cherry Point - Redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document issued by the Department of the Navy authorizing non-competitive procurement of Johnson Controls International (JCI) Metasys product line equipment for facilities-related control systems.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) is authorized to procure JCI Metasys brand Digital Direct Controllers (DDC) and associated software without full and open competition from May 15, 2025 through May 14, 2030. The justification is based on Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits single-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The estimated total value for JCI Metasys equipment through April 29, 2030 is redacted but includes MILCON and Special Projects funding categories. The requirement applies to all projects requiring connection to the existing Cherry Point Facility Related Control Systems (CPFRCS) installation networked facilities control and monitoring system at MCAS Cherry Point, NC. The government performed a business case analysis demonstrating that standardization on JCI Metasys equipment and software is necessary to minimize cybersecurity risks, achieve interoperability with the existing system, avoid substantial cost duplication, and maintain operational efficiency. A Sources Sought announcement closed November 13, 2024, with three responses received; none provided viable alternatives that met essential functional requirements. Appendix A lists 17 projected projects utilizing this equipment spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2030, including facility modernization, maintenance operations, and aircraft hangar improvements. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and the government will continue monitoring the controls industry for potential universal controller configurations to enable future competition.
