IV. Statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition.

This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This is a Limited Source Brand Name acquisition for Honeywell Vindicator equipment under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

For the following reasons, the Honeywell Vindicator brand name hardware is unique and highly specialized to this acquisition:

This is an upgrade to the current Honeywell Vindicator system installed in B1700. If the customer were to go with any other system the part would not be compatible with the current system and will affect the ability of the 375th SFS to respond to an alarm situation. Honeywell Vindicator is the only system that SFS will certify on Scott AFB.

V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

If the Government were to purchase a different brand intrusion system, SFS would have to purchase compatible hardware with installation across the installation and go through the process of certifying the new brand, This would cause a duplication of cost and unacceptable mission impact. This requirement can be satisfied by any certified Honeywell Vindicator installer.
