Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

This is a brand name requirement as we use the Honeywell Vindicator system for our alarm system. We need a compatible system to Honeywell. We also need a Honeywell certified contractor to work on this project to ensure proper installation and function. Switching the system to any other system would cost well into the $100k+ range. Contracting reached out to Honeywell asking about the Vindicator system to find any suitable or equal product but was told no other product works with the existing system.

See Letter from Vindicator .

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

As this is a brand name requirement, vendors who can offer the Vindicator system as well as the a certified Honeywell technician will be considered for award.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

This requirement will stand as a brand name requirement until a completely new operating systems is obtained. This would require the government to spend over $100k to update the bases security system.
