The 47th Contracting Squadron, Laughlin AFB, hereby submits an intent to sole source notice. The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-priced contract to Siemens Industry Inc, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other than Full and Open Competition as authorized by FAR Subpart 13.5 for the contractor to migrate the existing Siemens Insight to the new Siemens BACnet Siemens Desigo CC software due to the end of life of the Insight headend. There is Only One Responsible Source No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy the Requirement. An extended description of the product being acquired is as follows: The work includes, but is not limited to, the following information. The Contractor shall remove the existing controllers the Modular Equipment Controller (MEC), see building’s location below. The Contractor shall install with new Programmable Controller Compact (PXC) from mounting, wiring, configurate, and programming. Desigo server software with 3 clients Provide Civil Engineering Operators 40 hours of hands-on training in the operation and maintenance of the BAS. New controllers and associated input and outputs at all listed locations Existing wiring, enclosures, power supplies, and all end-devices to be re-used Normal time working hours Updating of only the control drawings and control panel layouts effected by the control panel upgrades New panduit Any existing wires that require extending will be done utilizing terminal strips strategically mounted inside the control enclosure Existing physical point wiring to be labelled (6 characters maximum) to describe physical point (ex., A1 MAT, A1 DAT) This proposal is for Siemens to only upgrade the remaining obsolete Siemens BAS control panels that are not compatible with Desigo CC frontend. This migration program will allow the owner to upgrade all the field panels in one project or to systematically plan and schedule one or more field panels to be upgrade per year without incurring unplanned cost due to a panel failure. As each panel is upgraded, Siemens will verify operation of the major mechanical equipment (i.e., air handling units, building relief fans, chillers, pumps, etc.) by testing all outputs and observe and record any inputs that are failed or appear inaccurate. Siemens will provide and setup one server software license and up to 3 software client licenses for your use. Market research was conducted and only one source, Siemens Industry Inc is able to meet the government's needs. This will be awarded on a Single Source basis using FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Siemens EMCS system is currently in place in seventeen (17) buildings on Laughlin AFB. Installing any other brand will present disruptions in the flying mission, major investment with significant cost increases, much longer installation times, and additional trainings for personnel. Therefore, an upgrade to the existing system is the most advantageous to the government, No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy the Requirement. *This notice does not constitute a solicitation document.
