Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf

This Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document is for the 21st Contracting Squadron at Peterson Space Force Base, seeking to procure CISCO and FireWorks brand equipment for a fire alarm system upgrade. The requirement involves installing 7 CISCO switches, additional power supply sources, and a dedicated FireWorks server with hardware and software components, specifically compatible with existing Peterson Edwards Fire Alarm Panels. The procurement will include FireWorks Certification training for one Civil Engineering individual, with a total estimated cost redacted in the document.

The acquisition is being pursued as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334111, with a sources sought notice posted from March 25 to April 3, 2025, which yielded two interested vendors. The justification emphasizes the need for CISCO products to ensure network infrastructure reliability, citing historical data showing that alternative brands could cause network outages, compatibility issues, and increased maintenance costs. The requirement will be funded by FY25 Operations and Maintenance (3400) funds and solicited through SAM.GOV as a Firm Fixed Price Order awarded to the lowest technically acceptable quote.
