ATTACHMENT III - JA redacted.pdf

This is a Decision Document for Restricting Competition under FAR 12.102(a) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs for a below-SAT acquisition.

The Dayton VA Medical Center (DVAMC) seeks to upgrade the access control system at Building 350 by replacing existing Honeywell and C-Cure systems with an Avigilon Physical Access Control System (PACS). The total estimated value of this brand name requirement is redacted in the document. The contracting activity is the Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 located in Kettering, Ohio, with the program office at Dayton VAMC in Dayton, Ohio. The acquisition plan action ID is 36C250-26-AP-3998, with an effective date of November 15, 2024.

The justification for the single-source, brand-name restriction is based on unique technical characteristics that limit availability to Avigilon. The system has been installed throughout the remainder of the campus and must integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure. Market research was conducted using the Small Business Administration's Small Business Search tool, querying NAICS code 811210, which identified 906 small businesses certified as SDVOSB or VOSB. The acquisition will be conducted under a set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). The Contracting Officer, Luke A. Turner, certified the justification on June 18, 2026.
