Notice of the Government’s intent to use a brand name product for projects at Joint Base Pearl HarborHickam (JBPHH), Hawaii. The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Hawaii (NAVFAC HI) requires standardization and interoperability of its existing Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems that will require a connection to the identified installation networked facility control and monitoring system commonly referred to as the Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE). Applicable United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) Comptroller General decisions have acknowledged the authority of a federal agency to use other than competitive procedures when there is a reasonable need for standardization or interoperability with existing agency equipment or software. GAO has concluded that the government may use other than competitive procedures when there is a reasonable need for standardization or interoperability with existing equipment or software, and when it is likely that award to other sources would result in, among other things, substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Currently, the Automated Logic Corporation (ALC), WebCTRL web-based building automation system is the only known DDC system that can minimize cost and potential cyber vulnerability through standardization and interoperability with the existing CSPE. NAVFAC HI is conducting market research to determine if other potential responsible sources can provide a DDC system that can meet the following requirements/specifications: Standardization on a single product for ease in maintenance. Having a local maintenance organization/contractor for support. Minimizing and standardizing spares. Minimizing and standardizing training costs for Navy maintenance staff. Ease of pushing out security patches via connection to the secure enclave for cybersecurity compliance. Interchangeable and interoperable with the existing ALC DDC. Minimizing and standardizing Risk Management Framework (RMF) costs including Authority-To-Operate (ATO) renewals/maintenance and networking training for Navy staff.
