Control No.:

Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity: USPFO for Missouri, 139th MSG/MSC, 705 Memorial Dr, Saint Joseph, MO 64503-9307.

2. Description of Action: The Missouri Air National Guard 139th Airlift Wing has a requirement to Construct Phase II Mobile Armory Infrastructure which requires installation of Automated Logic components to include a thermostat to monitor temp inside armory.

a. This approval is being requested for a Brand Name acquisition for Automated Logic Software to integrate with our DDC system. Automated Logic Software is currently in place at the 139th AW.

b. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded for this action.

3. Description of Supplies/Services:

a. Automated Logic Software for Phase II Mobile Armor Infrastructure, solicitation

W912NS-19-B-6004.

b. Automated Logic is the standard DDC control system for HVAC equipment across all facilities at the 139th. Each individual facility’s controls tie into a Base wide control system for monitoring and control by the Civil Engineering Squadron.

The use of brand specific control system for the HVAC systems is to maintain continuity and communication between all systems on Base, as well as continuity from an operations and maintenance standpoint. The standard was established many years prior by a competitive bidding process for control systems and is being implemented in all new facilities and renovations of existing facilities on Base.

c. The total government estimated cost for Automated Logic Software is less than the simplified acquisition threshold.

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 6.302- 1 (c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, Application for brand name descriptions.

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

a. The use of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302- 1 (c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency

Requirements, Application for brand name descriptions. This is being applied because the 139th Civil Engineering currently uses Automated Logic Software in all DDC systems for all facilities. No other no other DDC system exists on the installation. By procuring another DDC system, complete replacement of the existing control system would be required so all facilities are integrated and report together. This isn’t found to be beneficial to the Government.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: N/A
