Notice of Intent for Runway 03-21 Airfield Lighting Repair, Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield (WSAAF), Fort Drum, New York

The New York District has solicited and awarded a design-bid-build construction project for the subject project in 2023.

This notification serves three (3) purposes:

A. To notify potential suppliers of the Government’s intent to solicit a brand name only component for this project.

B. To identify potential sources that can provide an equivalent to the brand name only item.

C. Notification of the Army’s intent to solicit a brand name component as described below.

The item described below, under summary of requirements, is embedded in the construction project. The contract was issued as a negotiated procurement. Only the component described below will be sole sourced, if no other sources are identified that can provide an equivalent system. In the event no equivalent sources are found, the brand name only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval for sole sourcing. Supplies of the brand name component will be provided directly to the Contractor and not to the Government.

Summary of Requirement:

Monaco Enterprises, Inc. Fire Alarm and Mass Notification System

The USACE team for the subject project is proposing to use Monaco Enterprises, Inc. for the fire alarm and mass notification (FAMN) system. The design requires an addressable integrated FAMN system control panel that incorporates fire monitoring, addressable point reporting, live voice, and prerecorded mass notification system (MNS) functions into a single panel and is estimated to cost $10,000. The Fort Drum base standard is a Monaco Enterprises, Inc. FAMN system. Therefore, a Monaco panel must be installed to maintain compatibility and networkability with the existing system on base. The use of the Monaco products will allow for easy integration and communication with the existing system and will not require additional training for facility staff. Additionally, Monaco products are compliant with the Buy American Act. Other manufacturer systems will not be compatible with the existing system.

Any vendor that wishes to provide an alternate source to the brand name above that is compatible with the above must provide a response with data supporting the claim within 15 business days of this announcement to New York District Corps of Engineers, Contracting Division. This is a market survey and notification of intent only. This is not a request to respond to a solicitation. This requirement will be solicited at a future date.
