Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for Facilities Related Controls Systems

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) authorizing the use of brand-name Johnson Controls International (JCI) Metasys product line equipment for Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. The authorization permits procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which allows for single-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The CJ&A is effective from May 15, 2025, through May 14, 2030.

The justification centers on the requirement for standardization and interoperability with the existing Cherry Point Facility Related Control Systems (CPFRCS), a networked building automation system. All projects requiring connection to the CPFRCS must utilize JCI Metasys Direct Digital Controllers (DDC) configured with government-licensed software. The estimated total value for JCI Metasys equipment through April 29, 2030, is redacted, with costs distributed across MILCON and Special Projects funding. The rationale emphasizes cybersecurity compliance, operational efficiency, risk mitigation, and cost avoidance through reduced duplication. A Sources Sought announcement closed November 13, 2024, received three responses, but no competing alternatives met essential functional requirements for full integration with the existing ATO (Authority to Operate). The document includes certifications from technical personnel, legal counsel, the Contracting Officer, and the Echelon IV Commanding Officer. Appendix A lists 18 planned projects across fiscal years 2022–2030 utilizing the specified equipment.
