B3212 LRS Limited Competition Justification_Siemens_final_redact_Redacted_unprotected.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record addressing an absence of competition for a federal contract action.

The National Guard Bureau (113th Mission Support Contracting) seeks to replace the R22 HVAC system and upgrade Siemens Controls at Joint Base Andrews. The specific requirement involves replacing the R22 HVAC system and upgrading Field Panel Controllers at facilities B3212, B1217, B1225, B1234, B3029, B3030, B3119, B3236, and B3252 to ensure compliance with Joint Base Andrews civil engineering design guidelines, Federal Laws, Federal Regulations, and manufacturer's instructions. The contractor must review base design guidelines for constructibility and advise on potential problem areas prior to performing installation services. This is a brand name request for a new firm fixed price contract for O&M air services. The contracting activity is the 113th Civil Engineering Squadron, and the contract type is designated as a new contract.

The justification cites 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for solicitation from a single source. The Government determined that HVAC components must be compatible with the current Joint Base Andrews control monitoring system, which is Siemens-based, making this specific brand requirement the only option meeting technical specifications. Market research confirmed that small businesses can fulfill the requirement using similar procurement methods employed by other federal agencies to ensure compatibility with existing systems. The Government intends to compete the majority of the project among small businesses. The document was prepared in May 2025 and includes certification by the requiring activity that supporting data are accurate and complete.
