- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, a brand name requirement for the Simplex fire alarm devices, appliances, and programming to renovate an area of Building 1 Network Enterprise Center Renovation at Natick Soldier Service Center. This project is to renovate an area of the Building 1 basement. Demolition will include the fire alarm components within this structure, which are part of an existing fire alarm system in Building 1. In order to reconstruct the fire alarm system extension, the equipment that is compatible with the existing functioning Simplex system in Building 1 is needed for installation. The area of work contains multiple fire alarm devices and appliances that are an extension of the fire alarm system in Building 1, which is a Simplex system with a Simplex 4100U fire alarm control panel (FACP). Selective demolition under this project will include demolition of these devices/appliances and the associated wiring and raceways. The renovation will include installation of new fire alarm devices and appliances, along with associated wiring and raceways, and reprogramming of the existing Simplex 4100U FACP to accommodate the new devices/appliances. This sole source will encompass materials (the devices and appliances) and services (FACP reprogramming) provided by Simplex. The use of equipment manufactured by any other company would be incompatible with the existing FACP in Building 1. Additionally, Simplex panels cannot be programmed by technicians that are not current employees of Simplex due to the proprietary nature of the program and equipment.� Tampering the FACP by any other personnel will have the potential of negatively impacting the functionality of the equipment and will void the system warranty. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability of other qualified sources that can meet the requirements identified above and inherent with the referenced Simplex 4100U fire alarm control panel. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice of intent. All responses received within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government to require the brand name for the Simplex 4100U fire alarm control panel is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to allow alternate system manufacturers. Submit responses within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent via email to: kyle.k.hall@usace.army.mil (list W912WJ23X0028 � Simplex in the subject line of the email).�
