Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: Purchase lock cores and cylinders to maintain and sustain existing locking systems for new base lodging facilities.

Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

ECES190334

Project/Program Name: Al UDeid AB - Qatar Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The EURO Conversion Cylinders, 7-Pin Cores with TC Keyway and Ring Cylinders are all components that complement/complete the Best EURO Cylinder set. These items are required to sustain the current locking system used in on base, until all dormitories are transitioned to a new locking system.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Multiple vendors (KDL Hardware, Independent Hardware, IML Security) were contacted via GSA and responded that they can provide the requested parts.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

Best Access holds the patent and specifications for the locking system used in the Al Udeid AB dormitories. Because our current locking systems in the dormitories are designed to European specifications, the Best EURO Conversion Cylinder Kit is our only option, if Best key cores remain the locking system of choice for the USAF, purchasing from retailers that carry Best Access items is our only option.
