Building Automation Controllers: Distech EC-Line and Honeywell Optimizer Line Controllers and Software for Various projects within the NAVFAC Northwest Region.

Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A)

This document authorizes the use of "brand name" commercial equipment, specifically Distech EC Line Controllers and Software, and Honeywell Optimizer Line Controllers and Software, for Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) that interface with the Direct Digital Control (DDC) system at various Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Northwest installations. This justification is for the use of other than full and open competition.

• The CJ&A applies to all contract actions for FRCS using programmable building controllers to interface with the DDC system at installations including NAVBASE Kitsap, NAS Whidbey Island, NAVSTA Everett, and CNI NAVMAG Indian Island.

• The specified controllers are required for projects needing connection to the installation networked FRCS, commonly referred to as the Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE).

• Authority for this CJ&A is authorized from April 20, 2026, to April 19, 2031.

• The total estimated value for the use of these brand name equipment through April 2031 is not explicitly stated but is referenced as being outlined in Appendix B.

This document is a justification for sole-source procurement, not a solicitation. Therefore, there are no proposal submission or evaluation criteria detailed here.

This justification is for the use of specific brand-name equipment, implying a non-competitive approach for the specified items. It does not detail set-aside requirements.

• The rationale for this justification centers on the need for standardization and interoperability of existing building control systems, minimizing costs, and maintaining cybersecurity posture (achieving Authority to Operate - ATO).
• The use of these specific brands is intended to reduce cybersecurity risks, avoid delays in obtaining ATOs, and leverage existing Government-licensed software.
• The document also highlights the operational benefits of standardization, such as increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and simplified training.
• NAVFAC Northwest will continue to monitor the controls industry for potential future competition.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for the use of brand-name commercial equipment for Facilities Related Control Systems (FRCS) - Direct Digital Control (DDC) within the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Northwest region. It authorizes the use of Distech EC Line Controllers and Software, and Honeywell CIPer and Spyder Line Controllers and Software for installations including NAVBASE Kitsap, NAS Whidbey Island, NAVSTA Everett, and CNI NAVMAG Indian Island.

This CJ&A justifies the use of specific brand-name controllers for projects requiring connection to the installation networked FRCS, known as the Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE). The justification is based on the need for standardization and interoperability, minimizing costs, and maintaining a defensible cybersecurity posture. It outlines that this authorization applies to all contract actions for FRCS using these programmable building controllers, regardless of procurement method. The authority is effective from April 20, 2026, to April 19, 2031. Bidders should note that this document supports a non-competitive approach for these specific controllers due to standardization and cybersecurity requirements.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment 2 Company Information.docx", is a form designed to collect essential company and contact details from potential bidders. It serves as a standardized method for vendors to provide information required for government contracting.

• Company Name: The legal name of the bidding entity.
• Point of Contact Information: Details for the primary individual to contact, including Name, Title, Phone, and Email.
• Government Entity (CAGE) Code: The Commercial and Government Entity code assigned by the government.
• UEI #: The Unique Entity Identifier.
• Business Classification: Self-identified business category (e.g., Small Business, Veteran-Owned).
• SAM.gov Registration: Confirmation of active registration in the System for Award Management (Yes/No). A note emphasizes this is a mandatory requirement for all government contracts.
• Bonding Capacity: Information on the company's aggregate and single project bonding limits.

Bidders must accurately complete all fields in this form. This information is crucial for the government to verify eligibility, establish communication channels, and confirm compliance with registration requirements. Failure to provide complete and accurate information may impact a bid's consideration. The SAM.gov registration status is explicitly stated as a requirement for contract award.
