JA_Struxureware by Schneider Electric HVAC_Fully Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition document from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District for the use of Struxureware by Schneider Electric HVAC controls system at Grissom Air Reserve Base (GARB), Indiana. The J&A is specifically for incorporating this brand name system into a competitive Design-Bid-Build solicitation for an Indoor Small Arms Range project that will utilize MILCON funding.

The document justifies sole-sourcing the HVAC control system based on compatibility requirements with existing base-wide controls and cybersecurity standards. Schneider Electric is identified as the original manufacturer of HVAC control systems at GARB, and the base is transitioning all HVAC controls to Struxureware to meet Air Force NET cybersecurity requirements. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.gov on August 19, 2024, with responses due September 3, 2024. The HVAC system must integrate with the base's existing controls for a 21-position firing range facility that will accommodate various caliber weapons up to .45 caliber handguns, 12 gauge shotguns, and rifles up to 7.62 mm. Technical reviews found no viable alternatives that would ensure compatibility with existing systems while meeting cybersecurity requirements.
