Determine the availability of Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system Direct Digital Controllers with stated salient characteristics from responsible sources, Naval Weapons Station Earle

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT), is issuing this Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, quote, and/or invitation for bid. The purpose of this notice is to determine the availability of Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system Direct Digital Controllers with the following salient characteristics from responsible sources: 1. Capability of controlling Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. 2. Capability of being operated using Honeywell WEBs licensed software for their configuration and programming to create, modify, and download control programming, database, graphics, and controller configuration files and shall be installed by manufacturer authorized/trained/certified companies and individuals. 3. Capability to connect to the Building Automation Network (BAN) at Naval Weapons Station Earle, Colts Neck, New Jersey. 4. Capability to obtain and maintain Authority to Operate (ATO) certification in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 8500.01 and DODI 8510.01. BACKGROUND: NAVFAC MIDLANT is working on a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for various projects at Naval Weapons Station Earle, Colts Neck, New Jersey. This Class J&A would authorize the inclusion of brand-name specifications, under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for Direct Digital Controllers utilizing Honeywell software for Configuration/Programming and for Connection to the BAN located at Weapons Station Earle, Colts Neck, New Jersey. It is anticipated that the proposed Class J&A will cover various construction projects from Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 to 2031. •The Honeywell (Niagara-based) Building Management System (BMS) is a type of Direct Digital Controller (DDC) System that monitors and controls the HVAC system for a building. •The Honeywell BMS consists of several hardware components including but not limited to; WEB-8000 controllers, WEBS N4-JACE, Optimizer Unitary branded controllers, general purpose controllers, unitary controllers, BACnet controllers, VAV controllers and zone controllers. •The Honeywell BMS also consists of the software necessary to operate the system in addition to allowing the integration of multiple Honeywell Building Management Systems. •Further technical specifications pertaining to the Honeywell BAS can be found on Honeywell’s website at: https://buildings.honeywell.com/us/en/brands/our-brands/bms/ Based on internal Government research, the following was found to be sufficient preliminary rationale to permit other than full and open competition under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only One Responsible Source/Limited Number of Sources and No Other Type of Property or Services Will Satisfy the Needs of the Agency. 1. Establish and maintain a defensible cybersecurity posture. 2. Maximize utilization of existing government-licensed software to configure and program the controllers. 3. Maintain installation networked facilities control and monitoring system so that all controllers can be programmed from a central station versus a hybrid system composed of many different controllers and associated configuration/programming software 4. Avoid the significant operational burden and cost of having maintenance and engineering staff become proficient with the configuration, programming, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of controllers from multiple manufacturers. INSTRUCTIONS TO INTERESTED PARTIES: Please note that this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government. There will be no debrief, evaluation letters, and/or results to be issued to interested parties that choose to respond. Information obtained from this Sources Sought Notice is for market research purposes to determine whether another companies’ similar products can meet, or...
