About this file
This document is a justification for a sole source procurement of Johnson Controls HVAC systems for the Weapons Load Crew Training Facility project at the 187th Fighter Wing in Alabama. The project will install new heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems throughout the facility, including Direct Digital Controls from Johnson Controls. The 187th Wing exclusively uses Johnson Controls HVAC systems and controls for standardization across its facilities. Using another manufacturer's systems would require purchasing additional monitoring systems and compromise the ability to efficiently control and monitor base utilities. As the sole compatible solution, Johnson Controls is the only responsible source for this requirement. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number W50S6N-23-B-0004 for the Weapons Load Crew Training Facility from the Department of the Army Alabama Army National Guard.

Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition Sole Source Items within a Construction Project AFARS 5153.303-5
Contracting Activity: USPFO Alabama
Description of Action: FAKZ039172 - F35 Weapons Load Crew Training Facility
Type of Action: New Contract Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Funding Type: MI CON
Description of Sole Source Items: ohnson Controls: The project will consist of installation of new heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems throughout the facility. This will include new Direct Digital Controls.
Estimated Value of Sole Source Items:
Authority Cited: United States Code 3304(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302- 1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
Reason for Authority Cited:
The 187th exclusively utilizes Johnson Controls for HVAC system's Direct Digital Controls. This is the only manufacturer that is utilized to allow for standardization and guaranteed interoperability. To build a structure that did not utilize this system would compromise the ability to control and monitor base utilities to reduce energy consumption to the maximum extent possible. Utilizing other manufacturers would necessitate the purchase of additional centralized monitoring systems for the Hangar Building 1201 and Civil Engineering B1801.
Efforts to Obtain Competition: A pre-solicitation notice is placed in am.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project.
Market Research: The Johnson Controls system is proprietary, no other solutions will be compatible with the centralized monitoring equipment/system that is currently in place at the 187th Fighter Wing.
Facts: The Johnson Controls system is the only product that is compatible with every occupied facility at the 187th.
