ACS JnA Redacted 10.01.2025.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to procure an Access Control System (ACS) from DAQ Electronics. The procurement is for the purchase and installation of the DAQ Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System (ICIDS) StarWatch Access Control System, including equipment such as an ICIDS-V Application Server Assembly, StarWatch ICIDS S Operator Workstation, DAQ Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, and various door controllers and readers. The system will replace the current legacy system at Joint Base Lewis McCord and is intended to integrate with the existing DAQ StarWatch system, with a 12-month maintenance and 1-year warranty. The J&A is justified under multiple authorities, including being the only responsible source, having an exclusive licensing agreement, and being a brand-name product, with the contract anticipated to be awarded to Evergreen, the authorized distributor for the region.
