3 - Giant Voice SAP Single Source Brand Name Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document submitted by the 31 Contracting Squadron for a non-personnel services contract to provide preventative maintenance and training for the Aviano Air Base Giant Voice Mass Notification System.

The contracting officer has justified awarding the contract to Acoustic Technology Inc. (ATI) as the sole source, determining that only ATI is reasonably available to meet the requirement. The justification cites ATI's proprietary system design, including specialized operator console and software management that are exclusive to ATI. While competing vendors exist that provide suitable alternative systems, none can provide an ATI-certified technician to service the existing Aviano system at comparable costs. The document confirms that future sources will be actively monitored for competitive alternatives and that if pre-requisites or barriers to competition change, new sources will be solicited for competitive quotations. The contracting officer, Gualtiero Casadio (Civ), signed the justification on 20 May 2026.
