Brand Name Justification and Approval_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for a critical CCTV system upgrade at Eielson Air Force Base. The 354th Contracting Squadron seeks to acquire a Prometheus VICADS V100 Core Equipment system, specifically 1x Prometheus VICADS V100, 90x Avigilon Cameras, Cisco networking equipment, and associated hardware and software. The acquisition requires integration with existing analog cameras and Cisco fiber network infrastructure, with stringent security requirements including 1080p/4K resolution, license plate recognition, and compliance with specific security standards.

The justification highlights the unique qualifications of the Prometheus VICADS v100 Cluster, which is the only recorder confirmed compatible with existing systems and offering the required scalability and future-proofing capabilities. Market research was conducted using the AF Advantage website, with a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov attracting eight interested vendors, including four small businesses. The Air Force plans to promote future competition by exploring open standards, modular design, ongoing market research, and early vendor engagement for subsequent CCTV acquisitions. The urgent upgrade is necessitated by the outdated CCTV system posing significant security risks to Eielson AFB.
