7a. Brand Name or Sole Source GSA Building 401 IDS Redacted.pdf

This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source procurement by the Wisconsin Army National Guard. The acquisition involves intrusion detection equipment (sensors) and installation materials for a Local Area Network in room 111 of building 401, to be sourced exclusively from Advantor Systems Corporation (CAGE code 1S063).

Market research revealed that Advantor Systems is the originator of the software, holds restrictive proprietary rights, and is the only known source that can satisfy the government's requirement. The FPDS EZ Search function showed 97.00% of previous contracts were awarded to Advantor Systems Corporation, with the remaining 2.7% awarded to four other companies. The contracting officer, SMSgt Mark Tonkinson, has determined that this procurement is necessary due to system compatibility needs in adjacent buildings and the limited number of Air Force-approved systems meeting government specifications.
