This Single Source Justification document details a contract for a Honeywell controller upgrade at Building 7510 for the 28th Contracting Squadron. The estimated contract cost is $149,576.92, with Honeywell providing, installing, and configuring a control network for a BACnet network protocol. The existing industrial control system, originally installed in 1985, is being replaced due to its age and integration requirements with the EMCS system.

The justification for a single-source procurement is based on Honeywell's proprietary control over the system's design, manufacturing, and software/firmware. Market research was conducted, including a GSA Sources Sought notice and market research, which confirmed no alternative vendors could provide the required components. The contract aims to be executed within 180 days, with steps planned to reduce future sole-source procurements, including ongoing market analysis, identifying emerging technologies, and developing a phased transition strategy to promote competition for future HVAC system maintenance at Ellsworth AFB.
