Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition Sole Source Items within a Construction Project AFARS 5153.303-5

Contracting Activity: USPFO Alabama

Description of Action: BRKR009063 – Security Training Facility

Type of Action: New Contract Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Funding Type: MILCON

Description of Sole Source Items:

Stanley Best Access Systems-Locks: There will be new interior and exterior doors that will require new cores/locks.

Estimated Value of Sole Source Items:

Authority Cited: United States Code 3304(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302- 1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Reason for Authority Cited: Stanley Best Access Systems-Locks: Master-keyed interchangeable lock cores manufactured by Stanley Best Access Systems are the standard for securing buildings at the 117 ARW. Lock handles and other devices aren't required to be Stanley Best Access Systems, but all other devices must be fully compatible with MX-8 Best Access cores. Without Stanley Best Access System- Locks, the integrity of the security for the 117th ARW would be compromised.

Efforts to Obtain Competition: A pre-solicitation notice was placed in sam.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project.

Market Research: The Stanley Security patent ensures that MX8 keys can only be manufactured by Stanley, and Stanley will only sell MX8 keys to end user customers after verifying that the individual is an authorized purchaser. The MX8 patented keying system helps limit key duplication, while giving facility access to the users. Lock handles and other devices aren't required to be Stanley Best Access Systems but must be fully compatible with MX-8 Best Access cores.

Facts: The Stanley Best Access System-Locks MX-8 cores are the only lock cores that are compatible with the key cuttings security system maintained by the Base Real Property Manager.
