Full Description
Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT), is issuing this Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, quote, and/or invitation for bid. The purpose of this notice is to determine the availability of radio frequency fire alarm systems which meet the salient characteristics of Monaco Enterprises, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
NAVFAC MIDLANT is working on a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for various projects at Joint Expeditionary Base, Little Creek-Fort Story (JEB LC-FS), Virginia Beach, VA. This Class J&A would authorize the inclusion of brand-name specifications, under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) for fire alarm equipment by Monaco Enterprises, Inc. It is anticipated that the proposed Class J&A will cover various construction projects from Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 to 2030.
The initial effort is the starting point and backbone for bringing the Installation fire alarm system up to current technology. Follow-on projects will install a Monaco brand transmitter at each specific building fire alarm system to transmit the signal via radio.
Technical specifications pertaining to the equipment/systems can be found at: https://monaco-inc.com/products/ by downloading their 2025 Monaco Products Catalog ver. 1/26, which include cut-sheets.
Based on internal Government research, the following was found to be sufficient preliminary rationale to permit other than full and open competition under the authority of 10, U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only One Responsible Source/Limited Number of Sources and No Other Type of Property or Services Will Satisfy the Needs of the Agency.
1. Maintain installation networked facilities control and monitoring system so that all transmitters can be upgraded from a central server versus a hybrid system composed of many different transmitters and associated configuration/programming software
2. Avoid the significant operational burden and cost of having maintenance and engineering staff become proficient with the configuration, programming, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of transmitters from multiple manufacturers.
