4.03 Justification for Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document for a federal contract opportunity with the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Convergint Federal will provide three access control readers to be installed in Bancroft Hall: two doors in King Hall and one door in the Chesapeake Suite (4B52). The existing access control system uses Convergint Federal's OnGuard Enterprise access control system with custom configurations, drivers, and firmware, which relies on proprietary HID pivCLASS middleware for CAC reader credentials. The contract period of performance is from 06 June 2025 through 15 August 2025, with an estimated cost that was redacted. The justification emphasizes the need for sole source procurement to ensure system compatibility, security hardening, and reduced maintenance complexity by maintaining a single vendor approach for the access control infrastructure.
