- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPLY BRAND NAME DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS: Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(c), it is the Government's intent to apply brand name descriptions and specifications to the following Dangerous Cargo Pad and Combat Arms Training Maintenance Facility (CATM), Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB), Curry County, New Mexico. Brand name descriptions and specifications for the use of Monaco Fire Alarm Panels and systems at CAFB are required by the Major Command. The fire department�s mission is to have a uniform/consistent system throughout the base. Cannon Air Force Base Civil Engineering (BCE) and the Base Fire Prevention Chief have set base standards for CAFB. The Monaco system has been vetted by the Fire Department and satisfies all base security requirements and standards. If different security systems are used in the proposed project, they will not be compatible with the base wide system. Having the specified manufacturer will eliminate the problems in the field, prevent certification failure and assure mission readiness. The maintenance and repair training for these systems is brand name specific. �It is necessary to keep the systems the same in order to communicate with each other, for parts compatibility, and for storage and training purposes. �With multiple brand names, the entire system would not function. � The BCE spare parts inventory will remain manageable with all systems of the same brand name. �Also, for every brand name specified, a different software system is required, resulting in extra costs for the purchase of each system. �Using Monaco alleviates communication and compatibility issues caused by using multiple brand name systems and results in fully functioning base-wide alerting and reporting systems to meet local command and Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) (where applicable) Certifications. Using the name brand on all required fire alarm systems is the most cost effective. �THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION. � This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal. �A contract for this has already been awarded and this is being posted to conform to the FAR 6.302-1(c) requirements. �Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. �All responses received within 10 days will be considered. �If no affirmative written response is received, the brand name or equal application will be made without further notice. � A determination by the Government to include these brand name specifications is based on the determination that this brand-name product is essential to this requirement and thereby preclude consideration of a product manufactured by another company. �Cannon Air Force Base Civil Engineering (BCE) and the Base Fire Prevention Chief have set base standards for this system for Cannon AFB, and if different security systems are used in the proposed project, they will not be compatible with the base wide system. � A determination by the Government to utilize brand name descriptions and specifications for the Monaco Fire Alarm Panels and systems is based upon determination that each brand name product is the only product that meets the requirements listed above as dictated under FAR 6.302-1(c). Detailed capabilities of interested vendors must be submitted to the following email addresses no later than 5:00 PM (MDT) 11 September 2023, Erica.M.Talley@usace.army.mil �
