AI Contract Overview
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Northwest is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of supplying Distech EC-Line and Honeywell Optimizer Series building automation controllers and associated software for integration into the existing Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE) across multiple Navy installations in the Northwest region. The system is built on a Tridium Niagara-based infrastructure, requiring strict compatibility with proprietary hardware and software platforms to maintain operational integrity and cybersecurity compliance. A brand-name justification has been established under FAR 6.302-1 due to the impracticality and high risk of modifying the existing network, which would necessitate costly system reconfigurations and potentially invalidate current Authority to Operate (ATO) status under DoD Instruction 8510.01. The requirement is not open to competition but seeks to identify authorized distributors of the specified equipment and evaluate whether any alternative products can demonstrate full 100% interoperability without requiring gateways, protocol converters, or custom middleware. Interested parties must submit a five-page capability statement that includes company details, proof of authorized reseller status for Distech and/or Honeywell, a description of technical capability, and comprehensive documentation for any “or equal” product submissions that prove seamless integration with the Tridium Niagara JACE framework and existing controllers. All submissions must include the Unique Entity ID (UEI), CAGE code, and socioeconomic status designations, and respondents must be registered in SAM. Responses are due by 1000 PDT on May 4, 2026, and must be sent via email to designated NAVFAC contacts with mandatory CCs. The procurement window spans five years, from April 20, 2026, to April 19, 2031, authorizing non-competitive sourcing based on technical necessity and risk mitigation. Performance will occur at NAVFAC Northwest facilities including NAVBASE Kitsap, NAS Whidbey Island, NAVSTA Everett, and CNI NAVMAG Indian Island, with final acceptance dependent on successful integration, commissioning, and cybersecurity validation by the Government. Cost is considered only after technical acceptability is confirmed, with cybersecurity compliance, system homogeneity, and interoperability serving as mandatory thresholds for consideration.

The Government has a requirement for brand-name commercial equipment to ensure compatibility and interoperability with existing, proprietary infrastructure. The Control System Platform Enclave (CSPE) is an area-wide network connecting building-level Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems from several installations in the NAVFAC Northwest region. This system is based on a Tridium Niagara Utility Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) front end and Niagara Java Application Control Engine (JACE) enabled building-level supervisory controllers.

- Manufacturer: Distech
- Product Line: EC Line Controllers and Software
- Manufacturer: Honeywell
- Product Line: Optimizer Line Controllers and Software
