Final Signed Class JA Allen Bradley Sole Source Justification - Redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) document authorizing other than full and open competition for Rockwell Automation Allen Bradley products for the US Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, effective until November 1, 2028. The J&A covers new firm fixed-price commercial single-source contracts for Allen Bradley products used in operating projects including Millcreek, McNary, Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, Lower Granite, and Dworshak Dam.

The justification establishes that Rockwell Automation Allen Bradley products are necessary for control systems and human interface with critical powerhouse operations, with no other available sources able to provide compatible products. The standardization of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) with Allen Bradley products is essential for system reliability, maintainability, and operational efficiency. The products are only available through Rockwell Automation's Government Business Division due to their limited parts distribution model. A notice was published on SAM.gov on December 1, 2022, with no inquiries or expressions of interest received from other potential sources.
