The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to procure brand name products for the VA St. Louis Health Care System - John Cochran Division ICT Swing Space construction project. The procurement will utilize brand name descriptions under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2) and DFARS 206.302-1, citing that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The notice specifically identifies required brand name products from five manufacturers: Johnson Controls for access control and intrusion detection systems, Automated Logic Controls for HVAC equipment and software, Corbin Russwin for locksets, Eaton Powerware for electrical components, and Notifier for fire alarm systems.
