Brand Name Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) award to Avigilon for access control systems at Tinker Air Force Base (TAFB).

The estimated contract cost is $4,500,000.00. The contracting activity is AFSC/PZIOA, and the project is titled "Access Control BPA." Avigilon will install, manage, and maintain access control systems for TAFB facilities. The specific supplies and services to be acquired include preventative maintenance services, emergency repair services for hardware and software, system troubleshooting and diagnostics, software updates and configuration changes, hardware upgrades and replacements, and installation of new Avigilon-compatible access control points. The justification emphasizes that Tinker AFB requires a standardized Avigilon security platform to ensure seamless integration with existing security infrastructure, maintain system continuity, reduce lifecycle costs, and support the base's critical mission in a secure global environment.

The contracting officer's market research, documented in a Product/Service Market Research Report dated March 12, 2025, identified over a dozen qualified firms capable of providing general access control services, including small businesses and veteran/woman-owned small businesses. However, the justification concludes that only Avigilon vendors possess the specific and verifiable expertise required to support and expand the existing Avigilon system without creating operational risk, security vulnerabilities, or duplicative costs. To preclude future single-source awards, the government commits to conducting ongoing market research during the BPA's contract period to assess competitive alternatives and identify viable open-architecture solutions. Contracting Officer Michael A. Shand (GS-12) signed the determination on 13 April 2026.
