This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) form for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. The document seeks approval to identify a specific brand of Heat Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Direct Digital Controls (DDC) for the Construction Contract for the Boom Operator Weapons System Trainer (BOWST) simulator at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. The contract will be funded with MILCON dollars and awarded under the Small Business NE MATOC, with the Andover Continuum DDC system selected as the only compatible control system for the existing NFARS network.

The J&A highlights that no alternative systems are fully compatible with the existing base systems, and no additional competitive efforts were performed. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on 10 June 2024 with a response date of 01 July 2024, and no responses were received expressing interest. The procurement is for a multiple LAN server-based system designed for maintenance management, energy management, and equipment troubleshooting. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable, and recommends the approach for prompt attainment of services for the upcoming construction project.
