Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 23d Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: Georgia Crime Investigation Center (GCIC) Services

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F3E3318220AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $1,437.67

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The GCIC system allows Security Forces Personnel authorized users the ability to conduct necessary criminal history background checks as mandated by the Air Force, as well as run vehicle license plates and driver's licenses checks.

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

Air Force Instruction 31-113 directs Security Forces to utilize National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Terrorist

Screening Database (TSDB) (when available) to perform a background check to determine if individuals (contractors, vendors, etc…) should be granted entrance and access to Moody AFB installation, buildings and resources. NCIC databases can only be accessed via GCIC and the the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI is not a local service provider, therefore, cannot be considered for NCIC database access. However, GCIC can attain and be a service provider gaining access through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The GBI is a single source provider for

GCIC access in the state of Georgia for any and all law enforcement agencies.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

A search of the EZQuery and EDA websites looking for current contracts with similar services at military installations clearly support facts that show NCIC services are derived from state run Government databases only. Market research further revealed that each state is responsible for its own background checks. Other entities within each state requiring background checks are required to use in state sources. Example of such contracts are W52P1J-15-P-3042 (Army contract) awarded to Crime Information Central Arkansas, FA4528-17-P-0001 (Minot AFB) awarded to North Dakota

State Radio Communications and FA483018PS001 (Moody AFB) awarded to Technology Authority, Georgia.

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

While other means of accessing NCIC exist, without using GCIC, 23 SFS would be unable to view an individuals Georgia

Criminal record thus potentially let criminals onto the installation. GCIC is only accessible from GBI.
