A02_Fort Polk JA for Monaco Fire Alarms_UnderSAT_JA_Redacted.pdf

This document provides a justification for a limited/sole source contract for fire alarm systems at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The Army requires Monaco fire alarm transmitting systems for certain buildings due to compatibility issues. Specifically, the Monaco system uses proprietary frequencies and software that require the installation at Fort Polk's Emergency Center and Fire Department Dispatch to use equipment from the same manufacturer. The central receiver at Fort Polk can only receive fire alerts from alarm transmitters that are compatible with the existing Monaco system. As the sole manufacturer and supplier of fire alarms compatible with the current Monaco system, only Monaco brand equipment can meet this requirement. The solicitation was issued by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Fort Worth for installation of Monaco Fire Alarm Transmitting Systems at the identified buildings.
