About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for the use of Monaco fire alarm receiving equipment/control panel system at Laughlin AFB and all GSUs. It states that the government has a substantial investment in the Monaco dispatch system, which provides vital emergency response information by pinpointing the exact location of activated fire alarm detectors. Previous attempts to use other alarm systems claimed to be compatible with Monaco have resulted in unacceptable performance issues and the need to replace them with the Monaco brand. For these reasons, the document requests brand name justification for the Monaco fire alarm system, including the panel, transceiver, and mass notification capabilities, to be used in all construction projects requiring a fire alarm system at the specified locations.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the replacement of the existing high expansion foam system with a water deluge fire suppression system in an aircraft maintenance bay at Laughlin AFB. The acquisition will be a total small business set-aside, with a NAICS code of 238220 and a small business size standard of $19M. The period of performance is 245 calendar days, with two notices to proceed - 63 days for pre-construction submittals and 182 days for construction. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract.

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
47TH FLYING TRAINING WING (AETC)
MEMORANDUM FOR 47 CONF/PKA
FROM: 47 CES/CEF
SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for Monaco Fire Alarm Receiving Equipment/Control Panel System
1. This brand name justification request is for sole sourcing of Monaco fire alarm receiving equipment for all facility projects that require a fire alarm system at Laughlin AFB and all GSUs.
2. Justification: The fire department currently operates their dispatch center with a Monaco central receiving system computer. The government has a sizable investment in this system.
The dispatch computer is the brain of the alarm system which requires installation of addressable fire alarm detectors or features that when activated, report the address to the dispatch. This point-to-point reporting feature provides a floor plan on the screen which pinpoints the exact detector location. When Monaco fire alarm panels are not installed the result is loss of the addressable portion of the system dispatch computer. This information is vital for emergency response during life or death scenarios. It is also critical in protection and safeguarding of government facilities and equipment. In addition, Monaco alarm control panels provide a mass notification feature that allow the fire department to make public address voice announcements over all base speakers.
3. Support information: Under optimal conditions, the fire department dispatch computer should receive exact location information from fire alarm systems to include:
• Facility number
• Facility floor level
• Room number
In previous construction projects, the Government has approved alarm control systems that claimed to be fully compatible with the Monaco system only to experience unacceptable results and the need to replace these similar products with the Monaco brand. This is very costly. Many alarm systems have not functioned with the existing Monaco system despite claims of compatibility.
4. For these reasons, we request brand name justification of Monaco fire alarm receiving equipment/control panel system for all construction projects that require a fire alarm system at Laughlin AFB and all GSUs.
