This is a Single Source Justification under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for security monitoring services at U.S. Embassy Riga residences. The Department of State seeks to award a contract to G4S for residential alarm monitoring services and alarm system maintenance, with an estimated value of €11,000 including options.

The justification cites several reasons for sole-source procurement: changing contractors would require costly equipment replacement requiring CFO approval, substantial residence access causing disruption to residents, limited RSO staff bandwidth to support a transition, concerns about a new vendor's responsiveness and competence with the alarm infrastructure, and the fact that this will be the final year of the monitoring service as DS will no longer fund it after this period. The document is signed by the Assistant Regional Security Officer and approved by the Contracting Officer on December 17, 2024, for U.S. Embassy Riga.
