This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for Market Research ONLY to determine the availability of the following Brand Name Components: generators by Caterpillar, Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear and Motor Control Centers by Eaton, protection relays, Real-Time Automation Controller, and Switchgear Controls by Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Power Quality Monitoring by Schneider, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) by ABB, Remote I/O Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) by GE, easYgen Genset Controller by Woodward, networking hardware / switches by Cisco, Wonderware SCADA Platform by AVEVA, Interceptor CS PDS monitoring system by Network Integrity Systems, Proximity Card Readers by HID, Access Control System devices by Lenel, Balanced Magnetic Switches (BMS) by Magnasphere, PTZ CCTV cameras by Bosch, fixed-position CCTV cameras by Axis, HVAC controls by ALC, batteries by EnerSys, and fuel leak detection by OMNTEC, for future upcoming projects. No awards will be made from this Sources Sought Notice and no solicitation will be available at this time. However, responses to this Sources Sought Notice will be used to determine an appropriate acquisition strategy for future acquisitions. The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District intends to solicit and award construction projects for a customer of the Intelligence Community. The construction projects will be solicited competitively under future separate solicitations. These projects may include a Brand Name only component, as described below, unless the results of these sources sought notification indicates otherwise. This notification serves three purposes: (1) to notify potential offerors of the Government's intent to solicit a brand name only component under future construction projects; (2) to identify potential sources that can provide the brand name only item and/or equivalent; (3) notification of the Army's intent to contract sole source for a Brand Name Only, if the market is unable to provide 'equivalent' products. In the event no equivalent equipment exists, the Brand Name Only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source". A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval (J&A) for sole sourcing the resultant product(s) or system(s) in the event an equivalent product is not submitted for consideration. In such instances, the brand name or equal component will be embedded in the construction project that will be issued competitively. Only that part of the project requiring brand name components will be sole source if no sources are able to prove an equal product. The construction projects themselves will be competitively solicited.
