Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Single Source Justification (Under SAT) for a procurement not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It explains why the government intends to solicit from only one source.

• Description of Need: USFWS requires HVAC monitoring and support services for the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge, specifically for its KMC BACnet Building Automation System (BAS).
• Market Research Conducted: Identifies KMC Controls systems as proprietary, requiring authorized contractors with exclusive access to tools, software, and support for proper integration and maintenance. Unauthorized contractors pose risks of system malfunctions, voided warranties, or security vulnerabilities.
• Other Capable Sources: States that non-authorized contractors lack necessary tools, training, and support, potentially leading to incomplete service or system incompatibility.
• Barriers to Competition: Future requests not related to the existing KMC BACnet systems will be competed.
• Contractor's Qualifications: Requires interested parties to be an Authorized Installing Contractor and supplier for KMC Controls, authorized to operate in specific geographic areas (central and eastern Missouri, select counties in southern Illinois).
• Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost: Price will be determined fair and reasonable at the time of award.

This justification indicates that the upcoming procurement for HVAC monitoring and support services at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge will likely be a sole-source acquisition, restricted to authorized KMC Controls contractors operating in the specified regions. Bidders who are not authorized KMC Controls contractors may not be eligible to compete for this specific opportunity.
