This is a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A BRAND NAME CONTRACT using simplified acquisition procedures of FAR Part 13 to procure: Software Upgrades, Data backup Service, Remote Diagnostic Service, Scheduled On Site Maintenance, and training for the Washington Air National Guard, 254 RHF, Camp Murray, Tacoma, WA. The Government intends to award a brand name contract for above product to SIEMENS. NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD BRAND NAME SIEMENS using the simplified acquisition procedures. Only one responsible source and not other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. In this project, we will be replacing an aging HVAC system for a building with a new, more efficient HVAC system. Part of that system is the Direct Digital Control (DDC) system that controls and monitors the HVAC units. The DDC system consists of electronic devices that attach to various points on the HVAC system, and a central control panel. These components then interface with the Installation DDC Infrastructure that is already established to run all of the facilities for the Western WA ANG. This established backbone is a Siemens brand system. The components that are currently in place are Siemens components. This contract would replace or augment those items necessary for operation and monitoring of the new HVAC system. The individual components must be able to interface and communicate with the existing Siemens backbone system. There are components from other manufacturers that the Siemens infrastructure can monitor, however, only Siemens products are able to be controlled by the operating system that resides in the BCE section. From our terminal, we can turn on, turn off, and adjust all the HVAC systems for the base. This gives us the ability to immediately troubleshoot and adjust HVAC units in case there are problems. Other products would require a third party interface to translate information, and a separate computer program to run just that one building. We had this arrangement in one of our buildings at one time and had to replace it because it did not work. Siemens technicians periodically come down and perform maintenance on the code in the program, and this is where much of the conflict comes in with other components. As this is a replacement of one small part of an overall system that has been in place for numerous years, this is not a new requirement. Any future component replacements of the DDC system would need to also be Siemens products. The Siemens brand products are carried by many distributors, so competition among vendors is available. Delivery of the service will be not later than 1 May 2009. All quotations received within 5 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement. For specific questions, please contact Heidi R. Weber, Contract Specialist, heidi.weber@ang.af.mil. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement not later than 9:00 AM PST, 24 April 2009.
