Atch 24 JA Brand Name Avigilon VIDEO 626A4-22-104 MUR_Redacted.pdf

This is a Request for Brand Name Justification under simplified acquisition procedures for certain commercial items (RFO 12.102) for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, TN Valley Medical Center-Alvin C. York Campus (VISN 09), is seeking to procure Avigilon brand name security products, software, and associated system components to support the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) video surveillance and security system modernization project. The project requires seamless integration with existing Physical Access Control Systems (PACS), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), communication infrastructure, and VA cybersecurity standards. The estimated period of performance is 365 calendar days beginning July 15, 2026, through July 15, 2027. The justification restricts competition to only one responsible source (Avigilon) under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 1901. Market research was conducted through Small Business Administration certification searches, SAM.gov databases, and a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) posted April 24, 2026, closing May 1, 2026, which yielded ten responses including five SDVOSB, two VOSB, two WOSB, two small businesses, and one large business. Based on the market research results confirming at least two capable SDVOSB firms can meet the requirement, the recommendation is to procure this as a 100% SDVOSB set-aside. The government will utilize an independent cost analysis developed by a qualified architectural and engineering firm as a benchmark for evaluating pricing and ensure fair and reasonable costs through price analysis techniques. The procurement is to be solicited on SAM.gov under RFO 12.201-1(c)(1) procedures as either an open market Request for Proposal or Request for Quote.
