FAKZ189019 – F-35 Simulator Facility & FAKZ999088 - Replace Base Supply Complex

The scope of work with relation to the limited sources includes the construction of a new 19,000 square foot F-35 Simulator Facility as well as construction of a 39,000 sf Supply facility. The Best Lock system is currently installed at the 187 FW. This locking system encompasses all facilities and is installed at every lockable door. The security of the base is dependent on the integrity of the locking system. having one locking system on base allows for continuity with security and allows for the Real Property office to properly track the distribution of keys to the right individuals.

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.

Master-keyed interchangeable lock cores, manufactured by Stanley Best Access Systems are the standard for securing buildings at the 187FW. All door hardware must be fully compatible with MX-8 Best Access cores. Every facility on base utilizes Stanley Best Access Systems-Locks and CE manages the keying system. The keying system is a Stanley Best Access System which allows CE to cut keys base on a secure coding system. CE is the gatekeeper of the key coding system. No other personnel are privy to the coding system or key cutting device. If Stanley Best Access System is not used, an outside contractor would need to key the locks. This would present an unnecessary security risk to the F-35 Simulator and/or the Base Supply Facility, and this would dismantle the gatekeeper ability which CE now solely holds. Additionally, CE would have to keep track of two or more separate key systems and multiple master keys, which is counterproductive to the long standing system currently in place. Introducing another key system to the F-35 Simulator Facility and/or the new Base Supply Facility would be cost-prohibitive for new projects and annual maintenance costs.

I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Date:

A pre-solicitation notice is placed in beta.sam.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project. However, due to the proprietary nature of the Stanley Best Access Systems-Locks no effort to compete these brand name requirements will be made.

Stanley Best Access-Locks is the only manufacturer that is utilized in their respective performance aspect installation-wide. Total replacement cost of these systems do not present an effective use of government resources at this time.

In general door lock systems are not designed to be compatible with different door locking systems.

Utilizing other manufacturers would necessitate the purchase of additional equipment as well as create a security risk for the the F-35 Simulator Facility, the new Base Supply Facility and Fire Department.
