About this file
This document is a justification and approval for other than full and open competition on a sole source procurement. The Alabama Army National Guard is constructing a new Weapons Load Crew Training Facility and requires a Monaco fire alarm system to integrate with their existing base-wide Monaco system. The estimated value of the sole source Monaco system is redacted. A pre-solicitation notice was placed on the government's public portal to notify contractors of the upcoming project. Market research found the Monaco system to be proprietary equipment with no compatible alternatives. Certification is provided by several parties that no other system will meet requirements and ensure operational continuity other than procuring the sole source Monaco fire alarm system. The contracting officer approved the justification for the sole source procurement of the Monaco system pursuant to statutory authority.

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: FAKZ039172 - F35 Weapons Load Crew Training Facility
Type of Action: New Contract Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Funding Type: MI CON
Description of Sole Source Items: Monaco Fire Alarm System: This project includes installing a fire suppression system to include a new fire alarm system.
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: The 187th currently uses the Monaco fire alarm system base wide. No other fire alarm transceiver will integrate with the Monaco system. Therefore, the use of any other fire alarm transceiver would result in a substantial duplication of cost that will not be recovered through competition.
Efforts to Obtain Competition: A pre-solicitation notice is placed in am.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project.
Market Research: The Monaco system is proprietary equipment, no other systems are compatible.
Facts: The Monaco System is the only product that is compatible with the occupied facilities at the 187th.
