Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity: 134 Air Refueling Wing (ARW), Mission Support Contracting (MSC) 123 Briscoe Drive, McGhee Tyson Air National Guard (ANG) Base, TN 37777.

2. Description of Action: This justification is prepared for a new firm fixed price construction contract to construct Repair Airfield & Exterior Facility Lighting PSXE152004 located at the McGhee Tyson ANG Base, Louisville, TN. This project includes for one brand name component along with the sole source for the installation of the component. The project is solicited under Request for Proposal (RFP) Number Repair Airfield & Exterior Facility Lighting. ANG SRM funds are appropriated for this action.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: As part of the construction of the Repair Airfield and Exterior Lighting project, the contractor is required to:

a. Procure Lumewave system of lighting controls as manufactured by Echelon Inc. This system is a single source solution for the Lighting Controls network.

This requirement consists of supplying and installing a control system to be utilized by and compatible with the existing lighting control system for the 134th Civil Engineering Squadron, McGhee Tyson ANG Base, TN. It is vital that all lighting systems are networked back to the central system located at Bldg 320.

4. Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition is 10 U.S.C.

2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.203-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. It is likely that any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that will not be recovered through competition.

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

a. The lighting control system is required to be compatible with the existing system recently implemented at the 134th Air Refueling Wing. If a second supplier were considered it would result in the need for redundant system operations and the purchase of a second control system.

The estimate to purchase the equipment is $39,000.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: The Lumewave control system was originally procured in an open competition as a part of Maintain Base Lighting project. The radio system controls were studied carefully and found to be compatible with the Base Communications at large. When originally bid this procurement was open competition. Since Lumewave was selected and implemented as a part of that project, it now becomes the Basewide standard for compatible operation. Otherwise, the control system would have to be replaced or considered for replacement every time lighting controls are implemented on base.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: This J&A will be posted to FedBizOpps with the solicitation and potential suppliers may have the opportunity to propose compatible products for consideration.

8. Market Research: The following market research techniques were conducted within the previous 12 months:

a. The base wide lighting control system at McGhee Tyson ANG Base is based on the Lumewave system. There are no known alternative control systems that are fully compatible with this system based on lessons learned and experience of the design team.

b. No additional market research was conducted for the lighting control system. This document will be posted to FedBizOpps during the solicitation of the construction project. Any firms will have the opportunity to provide a substitute for this equipment for consideration.

9. Interested Sources: To date, no other sources have written to express an interest. There are no known alternative systems that are fully compatible with the aforementioned systems based upon lessons learned and experience of the 134th Air National Guard.

10. Other Facts: The following facts are identified:

a. McGhee Tyson ANG Base Civil Engineering has set the base standard for these systems for existing facilities base wide. It is in the best interest of the Government to procure the Lumewave brand lighting control system for new facilities being built so that there will not be a duplication of cost by having to replace the control system with a Lumewave system at a later date.

b. The maintenance and repair training for these systems is brand name specific, and it is necessary to keep the systems the same for communicating with each other, and allow for spare parts compatibility and reduce storage and efficient training requirements. With multiple brand names, the end user of the facility would need to be trained on how to utilize, maintain, and repair all the different systems. The costs over the lifecycle of the facility would also be increased for service and annual maintenance.

c. The Facilities Management spare parts inventory will remain manageable with all systems of the specified brand name. For each different brand name specified, a different software system would be required, resulting in additional costs to the Government for the maintenance of each system.

By using the aforementioned systems listed, communication and compatibility issues will be alleviated and result in a fully integrated and functioning base wide system. Having the same brand name on all required systems would be the most cost effective solution for the government.

d. The selection of the Lumewave control system ensures facility safety on the installation and seamless integration and communication of McGhee Tyson ANG Base facilities, while providing reduced maintenance costs over the lifecycle of the facility, training costs & requirements for end users, and spare parts stock costs for the Tennessee Air National Guard. The transceivers critical to the system operation are inexpensive items available with next day delivery. Parts are available locally through Sesco Lighting Systems or factory direct through Lumewave.
