Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

The Siemens Industry, Inc. facility performance systems hardware and software installed at the Conner Complex laboratories and Mayo Building are proprietary and Siemens is the only known source able to maintain current service(s). Additionally,

- The Siemens Industry, Inc. factory branch office located at 119-6 Hamilton Park Dr., Tallahassee, Florida, is the only factory authorized representative for the Siemens systems located at the Conner Complex laboratories and Mayo Building in Tallahassee.

- Siemens systems hardware and software installed at the Conner Complex laboratories and Mayo Building are proprietary; installed and supported exclusively through Siemens factory branch offices.

- Field Panels and associated terminal level equipment located at the Conner Complex laboratories and Mayo Building utilize non BACNet and U.S. patented Siemens proprietary protocol and technology.

- Insight Workstation Software located at the Conner Complex and Mayo Building is the only factory certified product supported for configuration, programming and editing Siemens products currently installed at both facilities.

- Non-Siemens Building Automation System (BAS) providers may not offer authorized support for Siemens products and software.

- Any 3rd party system configurations offered will require additional overlay workstation software and integration hardware for required authorized support from Siemens.

- Any additional layers of components would diminish functionality, reliability and may compromise any claim for recovery of inherent defect chain of responsibility.

- Any new systems, software and hardware would require separate training, service, support, and maintained manufacturer certification in addition to required Siemens support for installed Siemens BAS. This will duplicate investments made in systems already installed for commissioning, programming and staff training.

- The Siemens BAS located at Conner Complex laboratories utilizes Siemens laboratory room pressurization controls systems consisting of bio-containment control hardware, software, and commissioned systems strictly supported by Siemens Factory Branches.

- No additional non-Siemens hardware or software is authorized to a part of support Siemens systems currently installed at the Conner Complex laboratories and Mayo Building.
