CJA ML-23-80 - Redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document authorizing the use of brand name commercial equipment from specified manufacturers for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems at Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) installations.

The document authorizes the use of Schneider Electric PowerLogic Ion Meters, SCADAPack Smart RTUs, EIG Shark 270, and Shark 250 meters for all projects requiring interface with the existing FEC networked facilities control and monitoring system (MIDLANT AMI Network) from August 31, 2023 through August 30, 2026. The specified equipment will be required for centralized energy consumption monitoring across multiple installations connected through a private network with Schneider Electric or EIG software residing on front-end servers. The total estimated value for the use of specified manufacturer equipment through the contract period is redacted but based on projected utilization of approximately 24 projects across fiscal years 2023 through 2026, as detailed in Appendix A. The justification is based on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, citing the need for standardization and interoperability with existing agency equipment and software. Key rationale includes establishing defensible cybersecurity posture, maximizing utilization of existing government-licensed software, maintaining data management system compatibility, and avoiding operational burden and costs associated with maintaining multiple manufacturer equipment. A Sources Sought announcement was published on sam.gov on July 10, 2023, which closed on July 21, 2023, with no responses received from competing vendors, indicating no substitute products were available to fulfill the requirement.
