JBMDL Vertical Skills JA Fire Alarm Transmitter - Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition, prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District for Monaco Fire Alarm Transmitters at Joint Base Maguire Dix Lakehurst (JBMDL) Vertical Skills Instructional Facility in New Jersey. The document justifies a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, citing that these specific transmitters are required because they are compatible with the facility's operational system head end receiver for fire alarm and mass notification signals.

The document indicates that while the transmitters will be included as required items in the construction contract rather than purchased directly, they are essential components for the new 9,500 SF MILCON facility that includes training work bays, administrative areas, classrooms, restrooms, and utility/mechanical areas. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.gov on August 14, 2024, with a response date of August 29, 2024, with no expressions of interest received to date. The J&A states there are no alternatives available to achieve a fully functioning system, and without approval, the facility would not be able to receive fire protection and response services from the JBMDL Fire department.
