B.08 Single Source Justification-Upgrade Monaco System-25QA016.pdf

This document is a Justification Review Document for a single-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for upgrading the Monaco Fire Alarm System. The procurement is for a brand name request to upgrade the existing D-21 CPU equipment with the latest technology and software updates, specifically for the Windows 11 Monaco Enterprises system. The estimated total price is redacted, and the contract will be a firm fixed price with O&M Air fund type.

The justification cites 41 USC 1901 as authority for soliciting from a single source, with Monaco Enterprises being the sole manufacturer of the proprietary Fire Alarm Reporting System (FARS) currently in use at Joe Foss Field. To increase competition, the contracting office is restricting the RFQ to brand name instead of sole-sourcing directly to Monaco. The previous upgrade was completed under a GSA contract in 2020, and while the system remains proprietary, the government is attempting to allow small businesses potential participation by posting the requirement on SAM.gov and limiting the procurement to brand name only.
