BNJ - Hangar 2 Electronic Acoustic System (Redacted).pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the 11th Contracting Squadron, U.S. Air Force.

The Air Force seeks to procure and install a simulated acoustics system in the Band's rehearsal studio located at 201 McCord St, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C. 20032. The contractor will remove approximately 84 loudspeakers from the existing LARES system, including 32 loudspeakers from vertical surfaces requiring drywall patching and repair. The contractor will work with L-Acoustics designers to design and install an L-Acoustics Ambiance system meeting Statement of Work requirements. The contractor must create operator-selectable presets and maintain a minimum inventory of two technicians trained in L-ISA Technology, L-ISA Loudspeaker System, L-ISA Reproduction, L-ISA Mixing, and Soundvision. The contractor must have been an L-Acoustics Certified Provider for a minimum of 10 years, be located on the East Coast with four-hour in-person response capability for service calls, and maintain specific equipment in rental inventory: one L-ISA Processor II, one LA-7.16i Amplified Controller, and four 5XT Loudspeakers. The contractor shall provide detailed drawings, equipment lists, wiring schematics, and timelines during the planning phase. A two-year on-site installation warranty and post-handover technical support are required. The delivery schedule is 365 days after contract award under a one-time firm fixed-price contract.

The justification determines that the L-Acoustics Ambiance system is the only product meeting Air Force requirements due to specific technical attributes including maximum weight of 500 lbs on ceiling truss structure, voice lift capability, and simulated direct and reflected sound. The contracting officer has determined single-source procurement is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), executed on May 27, 2026.
