JOFOC BAS Spare Parts.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the U.S. Consulate General in Merida. The procurement is for spare parts for the Building Automation System (BAS) at the New Consulate Compound, with Albireo Energy/Alabama Controls Inc. identified as the sole source vendor. The estimated contract cost is $26,000 USD, and the procurement is critical for maintaining system integrity, with unique requirements including manufacturer-specific components compatible with the existing BAS design and configuration.

The J&A justifies the sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302 due to unusual and compelling urgency, noting that no other vendor can provide the required parts within the available timeframe. The BAS is a new, complex system with unique components and weather conditions, and the NCC Substantial Completion date is March 2025. The document outlines future actions to encourage competition, including documenting system performance, conducting market research, and identifying emerging vendors who may become qualified to support the system in the future.
