About this file
This document is a single source justification for the procurement of cameras, mounts, switches, microphones, and cables for the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces. The contract value is $61,804 and will be awarded under solicitation number FA500023Q0086. A single source award is being justified due to Department of the Air Force requirements that all intrusion detection equipment, including video surveillance devices, must be tested and included on the approved CMD list to be used for integrated base defense purposes. Only Bosch and AXIS manufactured IP-configured video surveillance equipment is currently approved. Using other non-approved equipment would require additional infrastructure and system reconfigurations costing over $1 million. Efforts were made to consider other vendors but none could meet requirements without delays or excessive costs. The Air Force Material Command is working to expand the approved vendor list over time as technologies advance.

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)
20 Apr 2017 Page 1 of 1
Section A: General Contract Information
Contracting Activity: Brand Name Justification for Bosch and AXIS
Project/Program Name: GATE CAMERA PROJECT
Purchase Request/Identification Number: F1W3SA3192AW02
Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $61,804.00
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
Cameras and associated equipment for Integrated Base Defense Employment
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
IAW DAFI 31-101 all Intrusion Detection Equipment (IDE) to include video surveillance devices must be tested and included on the CMD listing prior to the IDE being employed for Integrated Base Defense (IBD) purposes. The only video surveillance equipment which is approved for use in an Internet Protocol (IP) configuration are those manufactured by Bosch and AXIS. Using other video surveillance devices not IP configured would require additional communication infrastructure and reconfiguration of existing support components (such as installed servers, alarm workstations) costing the Air Force over $1M.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
All other potential vendors were considered, but due to DAF requirements and the existing configuration of the current system were not capable of employment without substantial delay to their employment or extensive cost to the Air Force.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
The Air Force Material Command (AFMC) is continually working to test and approve additional components to the CMD. As commercial vendors work to improve the designs and security features for their IP configured devices the pool for additional inexpensive video surveillance options will increase allowing for greater commercial competition.
Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
