Johnson Controls is the incumbent provider of the fully integrated base-wide facility automation system controlling HVAC and lighting. The estimated total price is $1.5 million with $94,000 for the Johnson Controls portion. The justification cites that using any other provider would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays due to the need to integrate with the existing Johnson Controls system.

NAME OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES
Requestor Stated: Johnson Controls Building Automation System for the Forbes Medical and Communication Building 2000 Repairs, Topeka, Kansas
DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEED
Requestor Stated:
Johnson Controls facility automation system is a fully integrated base-wide system that controls the HVAC and lighting of the Forbes Air National Guard Installation, Topeka, Kansas.
AUTHORITY CITED
10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy
Agency Requirements
POSTING REQUIREMENTS
Include justification with solicitation (FAR 6.302-1(c)(1)(ii)(C))
PROVIDE DETAILS OF PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY (Identify any statute or regulation that supports your request.)
Requestor Stated:
FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) This procurement authority allows for the use of only one responsible source, including brand name source or supply, when competition and/or award to any other source would cause substantial duplication in cost or unacceptable delays.
DESCRIBE HOW THIS ACTION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED
Requestor Stated:
In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) and 6.302-1(c) a portion of this acquisition will be utilizing the brand name Johnson Controls to meet the governments needs. Johnson Controls facility automation system is a fully integrated base-wide system and has been utilized for many years. Competition to utilize other building automation systems will result in substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and will cause unacceptable delays to this construction project as a whole further increasing the cost to the government.
DESCRIBE THE EFFORTS TO SOLICIT OFFERS FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE
Requestor Stated:
There hasn't been any recent efforts to solicit offers from other facility automation control brands. Previous attempts to utilize other facility automation controls resulted in system errors for controlling the HVAC and installation Lighting. The installation civil engineers will need to perform significant research to figure out how to harmonize other facility automation system controls with Johnson Controls, and/or would need to replace the automation system for the entire installation. This effort could remove barriers to competition but the anticipated cost to the government would far outweigh the benefits of competition.
DESCRIBE THE EXTENT OF EFFECTIVE COMPETITION ANTICIPATED FOR THIS ACQUISITION
Contracting's Response:
Johnson Controls is only a small portion of this construction project. There are many vendors that offer Johnson Controls and this will allow for competition for this portion. The project itself is a small business set-aside and will be competed between all qualified small business vendors.
DESCRIBE ACTIONS TAKEN, OR TO BE TAKEN, TO INCREASE COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION
Contracting's Response:
The installation civil engineers will need to perform significant research to figure out how to harmonize other facility automation systems with Johnson Controls, and/or would need to replace the automation system for the entire installation. This effort could remove barriers to competition but the anticipated cost to the government would far outweigh the benefits of competition.
DESCRIBE THE EXTENT AND THE RESULTS OF THE MARKET RESEARCH (FAR Part 10) CONDUCTED TO IDENTIFY ALL QUALIFIED SOURCES
Contracting's Response:
There hasn't been any recent market research to identify sources for other facility automation control brands. Previous attempts to utilize other facility automation controls resulted in system errors for controlling the HVAC and installation Lighting. Johnson Controls is only a small portion of this construction project. Previous market research reveals that there are many vendors that offer Johnson Controls and this will allow for competition between qualified sources. The installation civil engineers will need to perform significant market research to figure out how to harmonize other facility automation system controls with Johnson Controls, and/or would need to replace the automation system for the entire installation. This effort could remove barriers to competition but the anticipated cost to the government would far outweigh the benefits of competition.
