About this opportunity
The Department of the Army published a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a Monaco Fire Alarm and Mass Notification Transmitting System. The notice regards including the brand name requirement for a Monaco system in a competitive solicitation for a construction contract at the new El Paso VA Health Care Center at Fort Bliss, Texas.
The Special Notice aims to sole source the Monaco system due to compatibility requirements with existing Monaco fire alarms and mass notification systems already installed at Fort Bliss Installation Emergency Center and Fire Department Dispatch. Contractors were invited to respond with documentation proving alternative compatible systems by January 30, 2023, though none were received. Only the Monaco system is compatible with the proprietary frequencies and software used by the existing central receiver systems. The estimated total value for the Monaco system is approximately $150,000. It will be procured as one component of a larger construction project to ensure integration with current fire and emergency notification infrastructure at Fort Bliss.
Notice text
In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (brand name) USACE intends to sole source the purchase and installation of a Monaco Fire Alarm and Mass Notification Transmitting System as one component of a larger construction project. This specific system is required to be compatible with the existing fire alarms and Installation Emergency Center and Fire Department Dispatch notification central receiver systems already installed at Fort Bliss. The Government will not purchase the system directly and will include the brand name requirement in a competitive solicitation for the construction contract.
This brand name requirement is for the fire alarm management and mass notification transmitting system, to include Monaco BT-XF/XM and all associated appurtenances for the El Paso VA HCC at Fort Bliss, TX. Monaco’s BT-XF (building transceiver "-XF" for fire management) is a fire management transmitter. Monaco’s BT-XM Upgrade Kit transforms a BT-XF into a dual fire alarm and mass notification transceiver by adding audio board, relay board, and current BT-XM firmware to perform secure live-voice messages and trigger pre-recorded messages or tones resident on a connected mass notification panel.
To USACE's knowledge, there are no other systems that are compatible with existing Monaco systems. If there is a compatible system available Contractors are encouraged to respond to this Notice of Intent no later than 30 January 2023 by providing documentation of product compatibility, company information, and point of contact to Donald Sumner, Contract Specialist, by email at donald.c.sumner@usace.army.mil
