Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity or to Use Brand-Name Restriction for the Honeywell Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The document details a specific procurement for the installation of an Intrusion Detection System at Building 310, located at 1300 Medina Base Road, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) - Lackland, TX. The procurement requires purchase, delivery, and installation of an IDS in accordance with specific military requirements, with the system needing to be networked with the existing Vindicator network/alarm system.

The justification emphasizes the need for a brand-name specific solution due to the current system's integration requirements. The Base Security Forces Squadron currently utilizes a Honeywell Vindicator system, and the new IDS must integrate with the existing Duress Alarm system, providing notifications to the Security Forces Squadron. The document includes market research confirming that Honeywell Vindicator Certified Vendors are capable of providing the required services, and only a Honeywell Vindicator certified contractor is authorized to implement services on Honeywell Vindicator items. The contracting activity (502 CONS/JBKAC) has determined that the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable based on previous market research.
