DF Below SAT - Sole Source - Advantor - Redacted.pdf

This is a Determination & Findings (D&F) document for a sole source acquisition by the 171st Airlift Wing/Mission Support Group (171 MSG/MSC). The action authorizes a single source contract for the Advantor 6.2 System Upgrade, justified under RFO 12.102(a) (Commercial Products and Services), which permits sole source procurement when only one source is available.

The requirement supports the 171st Security Forces by mandating an upgrade from the ASN 5.0 system to Advantor 6.2 to achieve end-of-life status and establish a secure, Windows 10-compliant operating environment for the Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC). The procurement is justified because Advantor is the only approved company for Air Force security systems, maintains exclusive compliance with Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705, and holds patented equipment and data that only they can legally maintain and handle. Implementing any alternative source would necessitate complete re-accreditation of base systems, causing mission disruption. The Contracting Officer is the approval authority for this determination, dated June 16, 2026.
