Contracting Activity: 1 SOCONS/PKC Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

Project/Program Name: Estimated Contract Cost

Vindicator IDS (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Install Vindicator Intrusion detection system (IDS) in building 90208, in accordance with the Statement of Work. Ensure continued maintenance and support via an Air Force approved IDS. Vendor is required to be Honeywell certified and authorized to perform equipment installation. System being installed must be the Vindicator platform with the Security Archive Workstation. The system shall meet USAF Authority to Operation (ATO) for the Vindicator platform.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting for a Particular Brand Name Item rThis individual determination is executed for Brand Name Items only. Brand Name items procured under this individual determination K:omply with Air Force Approved Equipment Listing for Security Systems and AFSOC IDC Policy.

Advantor and Vindicator are the only two (2) authorized Automated Entry Control Systems (AECS) in accordance with Security Forces Center Commander's Non-Nuclear Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Equipment Approval Letter, dated 13 April 2018. The Advantor system cannot be configured to connect to the Hurlburt Field alarm system and generate alarm activations. Therefore, only the Vindicator products and system can meet the requirements of the resulting contract.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Vindicator is made by Honeywell, however, several Small and Large Businesses are Honeywell certified vendors who can fulfill this requirement. Sufficient competition can be obtained within the Honeywell certified vendors. Market research indicates a reasonable expectation of receiving two or more competitive quotes in terms of quality, delivery, and fair market price. Competition will be obtained, limited to the specific Vindicator equipment and certified installers. Solicitation shall be issued as 100% set-aside for small business concerns.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Specific Brand Name Requirements

Vindicator IDS is an Air Force approved system and includes maintenance support, after the initial one (1) year warranty and maintenance requirement expires, funded by the Air Force for the life of the IDS system. If this was a standalone system and not connected to BDOC monitoring system, the requirement would not be limited to Honeywell Vindicator brand. Future requirements will be limited to only Non-Nuclear Intrusion Detection System (IDS) approved products/equipment and shall comply with all lSOSFS sanctioned requirements to connect to the Hurlburt Field monitoring system.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-l(b)(l). that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a brand name product is reasonably available.
