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

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document authorizing the use of brand name commercial equipment outside of full and open competition for a federal contract opportunity.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) seeks to procure Johnson Controls International (JCI) Metasys product line equipment for Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. The authorization is valid from May 15, 2025 through May 14, 2030. The JCI Metasys Direct Digital Controllers (DDC) will interface with the existing Cherry Point Facility Related Control Systems (CPFRCS), a networked facilities control and monitoring system for building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) operations. The estimated total value for FY25–FY30 is redacted, with costs distributed across MILCON and Special Projects funding. The contracting activity may procure these systems through various methods including contracted services, in-house shop forces, base operating support contracts, or materials supply chain contractors.

The statutory authority for this non-competitive procurement is Title 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which permits use of a single source when it is the only responsible source. The justification emphasizes standardization and interoperability requirements for cybersecurity compliance, Platform Information Technology (PIT) system authorization, Energy Management Control System (EMCS) integration, and operational efficiency. A Sources Sought announcement was posted on sam.gov closing November 13, 2024, which received three responses; however, based on business case analysis, NAVFAC MIDLANT determined that only the JCI Metasys platform fully satisfies functional integration requirements with the existing ATO. The document includes certifications from technical, legal, and contracting personnel, with final approval by the Echelon IV Commanding Officer.
