Class J&A No. ML-23-04

The total estimated value for the use of the Specified Manufacturers and Product Lines equipment through 29 November 2025 is $. The cost of programmable building controllers typically represents approximately 20 percent of the cost of the total controls installation effort, and is a miniscule percentage of the total cost of any building construction effort. A non-exhaustive listing of the projected projects that will utilize this equipment is provided in Appendix A. All required programmable building controllers are authorized under this CJ&A regardless of method of execution or procurement strategy (i.e., contracted, in-house shop forces, base operating support contracts, or materials supply chain contractor).

4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 10, U.S.C.

3204(a)(l), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

The Installation has a reasonable need for standardization and interoperability of its existing building control systems that will require a connection to the identified installation networked facilities control and monitoring systems commonly referred to as the Oceana BCN. Applicable United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) Comptroller General decisions have acknowledged the authority of a federal agency to use other than competitive procedures when there is a reasonable need for standardization or interoperability with existing agency equipment or software and when it is likely that award to other sources would result in substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

To assess the need for standardization and interoperability, a rigorous business case analysis (BCA) was performed on the existing inventory of building control systems connected to the future Oceana BCN. The BCA evaluated the standardization of building programmable controllers and quantified the annual costs associated with procurement, sustainment of operation and maintenance, and establishment and sustainment of Department of the Navy cybersecurity requirements. The results of the BCA demonstrate that in order to minimize costs and potential cyber vulnerabilities, the use of the indicated Specified Manufacturers and Product Lines programmable building controllers will be required for all projects that require a connection to the Oceana BCN.

Additionally, in support of the future Smart Grid program, all new building control systems, unless identified by exception, shall be required to connect to the Oceana BCN.
