FAR Part 6 Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition
1. Contracting Activity: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District, 600 Martin Luther King, Jr., Place, Room 821, Louisville, KY 40201. Louisville District has prepared this document in support of construction contracts across the entire USACE Enterprise.
2. Description of Action: USACE requests approval of a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open competition to allow Contracting Officers to issue solicitations that specify the use of brand name Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment in the construction of new facilities, as well as equipment for sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) projects for existing facilities, that are executed by USACE on behalf of the Air Force.
During Fiscal Years (FY) 2023 through 2027, USACE will award numerous Firm-Fixed- Price, Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build construction contracts utilizing Military Construction (MILCON), Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and SRM funding.
Therefore, this J&A is applicable to various types of facilities due to the numerous projects within the USACE Military and Air Force Reserve Area of Responsibility (AOR).
In accordance with mandatory standardization decisions made by the Air Force in accordance with their Category Management (CM) Program, HVAC equipment is being standardized throughout the Air Force on an installation-by-installation basis. The Government will not purchase the equipment directly, but will specify the requirement for offerors to utilize specific brands of HVAC equipment in competitive solicitations that will lead to new construction and SRM contracts for various Air Force renovation and construction projects. The contracts will cover new construction and SRM projects at Contiguous United States (CONUS) and outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS) locations. The estimated dollar value of HVAC equipment in new construction projects is $60M and the estimated dollar value of HVAC equipment in renovation projects is $85M, for a total estimated value of $145M in HVAC equipment that is anticipated to be required during FY 2023 through 2027.
3. Description of the Supplies/Service: USACE executes MILCON and SRM construction projects on behalf of the Air Force and Air Force Reserve. The anticipated requirements to design/construct facilities, or perform SRM requirements, on Air Force installations for FY 2023 through 2027 is approximately $145M. The type of facilities will include, but are not limited to, hangars, training ranges, barracks, reserve training centers, maintenance complexes, headquarters complexes, fire stations, and all supporting infrastructure (gates, utilities, roads, drainage) across USACE AOR. As part of the design/construction or SRM efforts, new HVAC chillers will be installed in these facilities. To support the Air Force initiative of achieving economy and efficiency, this J&A supports the specification of brand name HVAC units to be incorporated into construction and SRM contracts from the approval date of this J&A through FY 2027. Periods of performance will be specified in each individual contract. In the performance of these contracts, awardees will be required to provide and install
b. As previously stated, the Air Force Senior Procurement Executive approved a Class J&A on 7 August 2019 that requires use of brand name HVAC equipment in all requirements procured directly by the Air Force through 2024. The J&A encompassed all Air Force installations and specified a particular brand name as the designated single manufacturers for installations. The Air Force followed up with a formal HVAC Chiller System Standardization, Single Manufacturer Selection determination on 10 September 2019. This Class J&A implements the Air Force standardization determination for all construction projects executed by USACE through 2024.
