This is a sole source authorization letter from KWP Pennsylvania, Inc., acting as managing agent for Girard Estate Leasehold, confirming Advanced Electronic Security, Inc. (AES) as the exclusive authorized vendor for access control system work at 1101 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The letter, dated March 11, 2026, and addressed to Tracie, establishes that AES is the only vendor permitted to install card readers and perform work on the access control system at this property. The limitation is implemented to maintain the integrity and proper operation of the system and associated data. The contact for further information is Richard J. McClure, General Manager, at (215) 592-1400.

The related state and local contract opportunity for the City of Pennsylvania involves the installation of AES access control on an entry gate at 2300 Poplar Street and will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever best serves the City's interests, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sellers must quote all items to be eligible for award, and no delivery or services should commence until formal notification is received from the department. The sole source letter supports the exclusive use of AES for this access control installation work, eliminating competitive bidding for this specialized system requiring vendor-specific expertise and system integrity.
