Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the use of "Brand-Name" equipment for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Europe Africa Southwest Asia (NAVFAC EURAFSWA). It seeks approval for a sole-source acquisition of specific Schneider Electric and AirMagnet/Firetide products.

• Schneider Electric PowerLogic ION 8650 and 7650 electric meters
• Schneider Electric PM 850 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
• AirMagnet model A5200 Wireless Intrusion Detection Sensors (WIDS)
• Firetide Model 7010 radios

These items are required to maintain compatibility with the existing AMI network, support data collection, analysis, reporting, and network protection, and align with specific Unified Facilities Guide Specification sections for metering.

• The estimated value for this J&A is $1,800,000.

• This justification covers only the specified brand-name items; other aspects of the AMI program will be acquired competitively.

• The proposed action will be synopsized on the Government-wide Point of Entry as sole brand availability.

• The Government will accept only prices determined to be fair and reasonable.

• This is a justification for other than full and open competition, citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(c) due to the requirement for a single responsible source.

• The use of different metering and wireless devices would result in significant duplication of costs, endanger the existing AMI system's warranty, and violate the Platform Risk Assessment (PRA) accreditation.

• No additional market research was conducted as it was deemed not practicable.

• NAVFAC EURAFSWA has no current plans to compete future contracts for these specific items, but will assess feasibility if other potential sources emerge.

Class Justification and Approval (Other Than Full and Open Competition)

This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition to procure Siemens Desigo brand name commercial equipment for Building Control Systems (BCS) at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota. This equipment is required for interface with existing networked facilities controls and monitoring systems.

• Procurement of Siemens Desigo programmable building controllers and associated software.

• Controllers must be compatible with the NAVSTA Rota Facilities DDC System.

• Standardization is required to improve cybersecurity, operational effectiveness, and maintenance efficiency.

• The authority for this justification expires on May 10, 2026.

• The estimated total value for Siemens Desigo equipment through May 10, 2026, is $2,800,000.

• This document is a justification for a sole-source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (FAR 6.302-1).

• This justification is for other than full and open competition, specifically citing Siemens Desigo as the only viable source.

• Efforts to solicit offers from other vendors via a Sources Sought announcement on July 6, 2021, yielded zero responses.

• A business case analysis indicates that maintaining a standardized system will save the Government over $740,000 per year compared to a non-standardized system.

• The requirement to use Siemens Desigo software does not restrict who can install, configure, commission, test, maintain, or operate the controllers; there are sufficient providers in the market for these services.

Justification and Approval (J&A)

This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition for telecommunications work at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota, Spain. It seeks approval to utilize Telefónica of Spain as the sole source provider for Outside Plant (OSP) telecommunications cable plant construction.

• Engineering, provision, installation, testing, and certification of the outside telecommunications cable plant.

• This work is required to support current and future construction projects under NAVSTA Rota's Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACC and mini-MACC).

• The OSP includes cable, conduit, manholes, poles, and associated hardware to provide signal paths to facilities.

• The authority for this justification expires on September 30, 2028.

• The total estimated cost for future OSP telecommunications work over the life of this justification is $7,000,000, broken down as:

  • MILCON: $5,000,000
  • O&MN: $600,000
  • Other: $1,400,000

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for sole-source procurement, not a solicitation for proposals.

• This justification is for "other than full and open competition" based on the "only one responsible source" authority (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)).

• Telefónica is identified as the only viable source due to its ownership and control of the existing infrastructure and its refusal to allow third-party access.

• The estimated cost to duplicate the existing infrastructure is $13,000,000, which would cause unacceptable delays for seven ongoing MILCON projects.

• Market research included a Sources Sought notice posted on SAM.gov on May 7, 2024. Only one response was received, and that firm was deemed not viable due to lack of experience in the relevant region and the significant investment required.

• The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
