Justification for Single Source Purchase (what is necessary and unique about the commodity, contractual service, or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

The Johnson Controls systems are proprietary and in order to maintain warranties, coverage and service agreements, all services and repairs must b performed by Johnson Controls Fire Protection.

Maintenance and repairs are mandated by the State Fire Marshall and the Agency for Health Care Administration.This system uses a Life Safety Software Program which is specifically designed by Simplex for its addressable systems. This means that there is not educational material commercially available from which a non-Simplex technician can qualify to edit, making this proprietary and intellectual property. The Simplex systems are of solid state technology. The system is composed of specially designed circuit boards. Servicing of the basis system can require the immediate replacement of one or more of these printed circuit boards in order to put the system back on line. All system parts and components needed for system repair are either exclusively available at the Branch office or from the Simplex factory.
