About this opportunity

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command intends to award contract actions on a limited-source basis for Facility Related Control Systems using brand-name programmable building controllers from Distech (EC Line Controllers and Software) and Honeywell (Optimizer Line Controllers and Software), with an award made to an unidentified vendor on July 27, 2026.

The justification rests on standardization and interoperability requirements with the existing Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE), an area-wide network connecting building-level HVAC Direct Digital Control systems across the installations. Cybersecurity posture and Authority to Operate (ATO) compliance under DoD Instructions 8500.01 and 8510.01 are cited as additional grounds. The procurement also avoids substantial cost duplication and supports operational efficiency. A Sources Sought announcement posted April 7, 2026, and closed May 4, 2026, on SAM.gov yielded five responses; four were third-party resellers and one failed to demonstrate product capability, supporting the determination that only the specified manufacturers can meet requirements.

The Class Justification and Approval applies to all facility-related control systems projects at Naval Base Kitsap, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Naval Station Everett, Naval Magazine Indian Island, and all special areas under the cognizance of the Facilities Engineering Command. The approved Distech product lines are ECY-203, ECY-300, ECY-400, ECY-600, ECY-S1000, ECY-APEX, ECB-300, ECB-400, and ECB-600 Series. Approved Honeywell products are the Optimizer Unitary Controller and Optimizer VAV Controller. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable.
