JA 24-63 Signed_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a construction contract at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska intends to include restrictive brand name specifications for construction materials in a solicitation (W911KB-24-R-0028) for the Fuels Management & Lab Facility, with an estimated contract value of $440,000 to be awarded using FY24 MILCON funds.

The primary justification is the need to interface with the existing Delta Controls DDC system for monitoring and controlling HVAC systems across base facilities. Alternative systems would require substantial additional costs, including training, spare parts, and duplicate installation efforts. The procurement is specifically for construction materials required to integrate with the existing base-wide control systems, with the restricted specifications representing approximately 59% of the expected construction project cost. A market survey was conducted, and no compatible alternative products were found.
