About this file

This is a Simplified Acquisitions Sole Source or Brand Name Justification form (IBWC Form 356) submitted for security systems maintenance services at LRGV facilities. The form justifies sole-sourcing to Pyrocom for maintaining PCAS, IDS, CCTV, SMS (CCURE 9000) security systems with a 4-hour response time requirement.

The justification cites three bases: only one responsible source, unusual and compelling urgency, and brand name only. The rationale states that Pyrocom is the only vendor servicing this specific security equipment in the facility's location, with other vendors requiring significant travel time that would not meet the response requirements. Market research was conducted using GSA eLibrary, GSA Advantage, and internet research, confirming Pyrocom (located in El Paso) as the only vendor able to meet the proximity and response time requirements. The form is signed by requester Benjamin Roche Jr. (CPT, SSD) and contracting officer Adrian Knights (Purchasing Agent) under requisition number FY25R3101010.

Work shall consist of responding as needed to maintain security systems located at the LRGV facilities within four (4) hours.

TextField1: Pyrocom is the only vendor who services the specific type of security equipment that we employee at this facility. All other vendors would have to travel to get to this location and would require a great deal of time.
