This Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document is for a commercial service requirement to acquire and install Honeywell Vindicator (v3) Intrusion Detection Systems at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The acquisition covers Buildings 7316, 7416, 7007, and 7320, involving installation of a Vindicator Intrusion Detection System with four key phases: installation, removal of existing system, training and maintenance, and testing. The contractor will provide all necessary materials and labor, including electrical and networking subcontract costs, with Honeywell-certified personnel performing the installation.

The document justifies a sole-source procurement based on Vindicator, Will Burt, and Advantor being the only HQ USAF/A7S approved Intrusion Detection System (IDS) brands for Air Force installations. Previous contracts at Dyess AFB demonstrate the standardized use of Honeywell's Vindicator IDS, with five prior contracts referenced. Market research included a sources sought notice on the Government Point of Entry and revealed only three approved alarm system vendors. The Air Force aims to maintain operational continuity and minimize logistics costs by continuing to use the established Vindicator system, while remaining open to exploring alternative acquisition strategies if viable competitive options emerge.
