FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

March 2018 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 18 CONS/PKA, Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan

Project/Program Name: Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Upgrade

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F2H3A28043AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

Purchase of AES-1500 Vindicator models to replace 102 each of obsolete Vindicator IDS DT 1600 models. All the supplies needed for this replacement/conversion are also included. Replacement/installation is not required for contractor, it will be done by 18

CES/CEOFA.

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

This is a Brand Name justification because the requirement can only be fulfilled with a Honeywell Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and associated peripheral equipment. The Honeywell Vindicator equipment required adheres to the Non-Nuclear IDS Equipment Approved List (dated 13 Apr 2018) provided by AFSFC, AFI 31-101 5 July 2017, Integrated Defense (ID) and AFI 31-101 PACAFSUP 28 February 2018, Integrated Defense (ID).

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Review of the above mentioned publications, shows only the Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is compliant for use on Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. There are multiple vendors able to provide the Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS).

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

No actions are planned to foster competition for future requirements for the item being acquired. In order to ensure competition for future spare parts for Vindicator security system, the Kadena Air Base would be required to purchase a new security system that is on the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Equipment Approval Listing and implement a new security infrastructure, which is impractical.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
