JA - Advantor Alarm Systems1 Redacted

CUI
Department of the Air Force: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition I. Agency and Contracting Activity (RFO 6.104-1(a)(1)): Agency: ACC
Contracting Activity: 49th Contracting Squadron, PKA

II. Nature and/or description of the action being approved (RFO 6.104-1(a)(2)): This document approves the award of a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract on a sole source basis to Advantor Systems II LLC for the installation and training of the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in BLDG 205 in support of the 49 OG/6 ATKS. This justification is made on an Individual basis.
III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs (RFO 6.104-1(a)(3)): The 49 OG requires Advantor Alarm Systems installed in BLDG 205 IAW the Statement of Work (SOW) and estimate proposal. The estimated value of this requirement is
using O&M (3400) funds using a FFP contract. A breakdown of the required items can be found on the estimate proposal.
IV. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition (RFO 6.104-1(a)(4)):

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

V. Rationale for Use of Authority (RFO 6.104-1(a)(5)):
Research on IDS's were conducted on sources such as the AFICC Launch Pad, GSA Advantage, AbilityOne, and SAM. Searches on the AFICC Launch Pad shows a contracting vehicle specific for Security Systems in the USEUCOM AOR which is not within the scope of this requirement. Searches on AbilityOne yielded no results for "intrusion detection systems". Searches on GSA Advantage produced 107 small businesses under MAS 334290, "Security and Protection Security Systems" that could possibly fulfill the requirement, but would not be considered due to the restrictions of the CMD Approved Equipment listing from AFLCMC/ESS. Reach out to a technical expert at the 49th SFS revealed that the use of equipment other than from Advantor Systems would risk interoperability issues, additional sustainment costs, and potential unauthorized mixing of systems. Searches on SAM showed multiple awarded contracts specifically to Advantor Systems LLC for the procurement of very similar IDS requirements across the USAF. Outreach to representatives at Advantador resulted in a signed memorandum from the company stating they have proprietary rights to their equipment, software, installation, maintenance, repair, sustainment, and related support services.
