Attachment II Sole Source Justification redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source document for simplified procedures procurement action 1301353325. The United States Naval Academy (USNA) requires installation of magnetic locks on four sets of double doors in Mischlier Hall and two CAC (Common Access Card) readers controlling access to Corridor 130 and the Atrium. The required period of performance is 16 June 2026 through 31 July 2026.

The procurement is restricted to Convergent Federal (CAGE Code 4A8Z7) as the sole source provider due to compatibility and integration requirements with existing systems. All CAC readers and magnetic locks currently installed in Bancroft Hall were previously provided and installed by Convergent Federal. The existing access control infrastructure, including control panels, middleware, and the centralized LeneIS2 security management system, has been specifically configured to operate with Convergent Federal's proprietary hardware, software, custom configurations, drivers, and firmware. The justification emphasizes that introducing readers from alternative vendors would create hardware incompatibilities, compromise security, reduce system reliability, and require costly modifications to existing integrations. The contracting officer has determined that circumstances justifying only one source reasonably applies to this contract action.
