This document is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI), dated May 2026, supporting a sole-source contract award.

The 92nd Civil Engineering Squadron at Fairchild Air Force Base requires an upgrade to the Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) to enhance cyber-security posture and comply with current Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force standards. The upgrade includes replacing ALCMS CPU equipment at the Air Traffic Control Tower and Vault nodes, replacing fiber drivers and network switches with managed alternatives, installing ACE 3 Door Upgrade kits for 28 existing switchgear CCRs, updating the touchscreen Human Machine Interface for ethernet IP communication, installing three ACE 3 I/O units for remote monitoring locations, deploying Windows 11 24H2, achieving 80% or greater STIG/SRG compliance by January 1, 2025, and implementing password protection and configuration integrity baselines. Services include technical submittals, Factory Acceptance Testing, On-Site Commissioning and System Acceptance Testing conducted over four one-week site visits, on-site installation and system checks, training for ATC personnel and maintenance staff, and delivery of project documentation and operator manuals.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, identifying ADB Safegate as the only responsible source authorized to service and modify ADB ALCMS hardware and software while maintaining FAA AC150/5345-56 compliance. Market research across AFFIC LaunchPad, GSA Advantage, AbilityOne, SAM contract database, and a Sources Sought notice posting on June 4, 2026 (closing June 11, 2026) confirmed no alternative vendors capable of performing the required modifications. The Contracting Officer is responsible for determining fair and reasonable pricing using historical contract comparisons from similar ALCMS installations.
