This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for use of other than full and open competition for a federal contract opportunity.

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) seeks to procure a Simplex brand model 4100ES Fire Detection & Control Panel for barracks construction at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina under solicitation N40085-26-R-0058. The project involves demolition of five bachelor enlisted quarters buildings and replacement with 565 two-person rooms to support 1,130 personnel. The brand-name specification is justified because the Simplex 4100ES panel must match existing fire alarm systems at the facility and maintain interface compatibility with base-wide fire alarm training. The requirement to use this specific brand does not restrict installation, commission, testing, maintenance, or operation services to a single source, and multiple known sources can provide such services. The statutory authority for this single-source justification is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1 (DEVIATION 2026-00017). A Sources Sought Notice was published on May 7, 2026, closing May 14, 2026, with zero responses. The acquisition will proceed with full and open competition as authorized by approved DD2579 on February 17, 2026.

The contracting activity is NAVFAC MIDLANT's Planning, Design, & Construction Contracting Division in Norfolk, Virginia, with the Resident Officers in Charge of Construction (ROICC) at Camp Lejeune administering. The programmed contract amount and estimated brand-name supply value are redacted. Project funding derives from FY26 Operations & Maintenance, Marine Corps (O&M, MC) funds, with completion required within 1,461 calendar days after contract award. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through comparison of proposed prices, independent government cost estimates, historical information, and market survey results prior to award.
