HSQ EMCS FA255026P0030 LSJ Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document). The 50th Contracting Squadron at Schriever Space Force Base seeks to award a sole-source contract to HSQ Tech, Inc. for nonpersonal services on the HSQ Energy Management Control System (EMCS) at Schriever Space Force Base. The contract encompasses firmware updates, software updates, graphics updates, automation controls analysis and optimization, emergency on-line response, and emergency on-site response. The estimated contract value for the base year and four options plus a six-month option period is redacted, with a Period of Performance from September 21, 2026 through September 20, 2031, structured as a firm-fixed-price requirement.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, establishing that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. HSQ Tech maintains and controls the proprietary Energy Management Control System, which includes computer, firmware, software, and sensors in 19 buildings at Schriever Space Force Base. The system is proprietary to HSQ, and no external organizations are permitted to operate on it. An RFI was posted on SAM.gov on July 14, 2026 for three days, yielding no responses indicating other companies could dispute the proprietary claim. The justification notes that introducing an alternative vendor would require comprehensive Risk Management Framework assessments, necessitate redundant infrastructure, create operational fragmentation, and incur substantial non-reimbursable costs. The Contracting Officer Kade Allen and Technical and Requirements Personnel Andrew Aragon certified the justification on July 29, 2026 and August 3, 2026, respectively.
