4.03 Sole Source Justification- USNA Access Control System KO Signed (5)_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement document for federal contract opportunity 1301346021.

The United States Naval Academy is procuring services from SigNet Technologies, Inc. d.b.a Convergent Federal (CAGE Code 4A8Z7) on a sole source basis for on-site inspections, annual preventative maintenance, software updates, license updates, and technical support services for the Lenel OnGuard Access Control System at USNA's campus. The contract covers a base year from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, with four option years extending through April 30, 2031. The estimated cost is redacted in the document. The requirement is restricted to Convergent Federal, as they are the only company certified and authorized by Naval District Washington to access and work on the Lenel OnGuard Access Control System, which was originally supplied and installed at USNA's Preble Hall in 2024. The justification cites system compatibility requirements, proprietary data limitations related to internal Lenel system data and its connection to the N6 region, and the need for integrated emergency response services. Convergent Federal possesses the exclusive combination of expertise, experience, and USNA institutional knowledge necessary to maintain system functionality with minimal disruption. The contracting officer and requiring activity have certified that the circumstances justify restricting competition to a single source.
