About this file

This single source justification document outlines the need to procure Genetec camera connections from a sole source supplier for the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson license plate recognition system. The Genetec system currently employs 100 cameras across multiple JBER locations that require Genetec licenses to operate and archive recorded data. Replacing the entire Genetec system is estimated to cost $950,000, so procuring additional Genetec camera connections for $20,750 provides the needed functionality at significantly lower expense. As the Genetec operating system is proprietary, no alternative suppliers exist. The contracting officer therefore determined only Genetec qualifies as a single source to meet requirements.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces to acquire Genetec camera connections for the JBER license plate recognition system, with an estimated value of $20,750.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION

April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 1 of 1April 2021 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 673 Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: SFS Genetec Camera Connection

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1W3SA3111AG01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $20,750.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

(100) GSC-OM-E-1C - Genetec Camera license

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The Genetec License is required for the LPR (License Plate Recognition) cameras to operate and archive recorded information on the LPR System. The Genetec system uses a proprietary operating system (OS) and one (1) license is required for each camera tied to the system. Currently JBER employs 100 LPR cameras at multiple locations around the installation and does not have the connections require to view and store data. The estimated cost to replace the current GENETEC system is $950,000 and would require the purchase of additional camera connections, hardware replacement and any new licenses required as a result of the changes.

Consequentially, this acquisition will need be a brand name requirement.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

There is no competition for camera connections to the proprietary Genetec OS utilited by JBER's LPR system.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Continue research into other LPR OS manufacturers for companies offering an OS compatible with the Genetec OS once the system's proprietary license expires.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
