2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

This request is for a project to upgrade the NC-14 network controller, NC-14 field controllers, and the ADX Server functioning within the Richmond VAMC Building Automation System (BAS). The NC-14 controllers will be upgraded to Bacnet Controllers and the ADX Server will be upgraded with a new server featuring the latest server software and Johnson Controls Metasys Software. The existing equipment includes the NC-14 network controller, NC-14 FPU field controllers, all existing NC-14 graphics and control points, ADX Server, existing ADX Metasys software, and existing ADX graphics.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Richmond VAMC uses the Johnson Controls Metasys as the BAS for the hospital. Due to the proprietary nature of the Johnson Controls Metasys BAS, only Johnson Controls is qualified to provide the necessary expertise to replace the NC-14 devices, the ADX Server, and setup the new equipment for operation within the existing BAS.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research was limited due to the proprietary nature of the Johnson Controls Metasys BAS used by the Richmond VAMC. Only Johnson Controls is qualified to replace the NC-14 devices, the ADX Server, and setup the new equipment within their proprietary BAS.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
