Sole source justification:
The Johnson Controls Metasys control system installed at the ATC is a very complex system that comprises about 10,000 components, about two-thirds of which are exclusive to Johnson Controls. There are six (6) NAE primary controllers that cost about $15,000 each, about 130 small VMA controllers that cost $800 each, and 25 DX controllers valued at $1,200 each. In addition, there is also Johnson Controls software specifically designed to operate this equipment.
Moreover, the system architecture is unique to the ATC since these systems' parts are custom designed. Johnson Controls technicians are trained on these systems and have many years of experience in maintaining and repairing them.
