I.A.02 Limited Competition Justification JDOMS_JOCTF MONITOR REPLACMENT - Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity document for the National Guard Bureau, requesting a brand name (BARCO) LCD wall monitor replacement for the JDOMS A/V infrastructure. The procurement is for a new contract with a firm fixed price, funded by O&M Army, with a total estimated price that is redacted. The justification explains that the current video wall has BARCO-specific proprietary components (Video Bus, Wall Control Manager, and Mounting hardware) that cannot be replaced by other brands without completely changing the entire infrastructure.

The document indicates this is a non-competitive procurement under 10 USC 346(5), citing that the 55" BARCO monitors are the only compatible components for the existing installation. The previous contract from 09/22/2020 was competitive, but this replacement requires the same brand to maintain system integrity. The contracting activity (USPFO-FL, P&C) argues that limiting competition to the only 55" monitor brand compatible with the A/V infrastructure is the most economical solution and in the best interest of the government. The document is dated May 1, 2025, with approvals scheduled for September 2, 2025.
