Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity:

USPFO for Oregon

1776 Militia Way

Salem, OR 97309

2. Description of Action: A new competitive firm fixed price construction contract for project which includes “Brand Name Only” component for the Fire Alarm Panel/Transmitter - Monaco Fire

Detection and Alarms System. The funding source will be MILCON.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: ANG Project # KJAQ159096, Construct Indoor Range at

Klamath Falls Airport – Kingsley Field, OR included one Brand Name for the Fire Alarm

Panel/Transmitter - Monaco Fire Detection and Alarm including the Panel, Transmitter and all associated installation by a certified installer, commissioning and training requirements for the implementation of a complete Fire Alarm Panel and Mass Notification System. MILCON funds will be utilized for this requirement.

4. Authority Cited: 10 United States Code 2304(c) (1), as implemented in Federal Acquisition

Regulation 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements - it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Only one responsible source, Monaco Enterprises, Inc. and no other source of supply will satisfy agency requirement for the Fire Alarm System. The 173rd Civil

Engineering Squadron currently uses the Monaco Fire Alarms System at Kingsley ANGB. The new fire station will need to fully integrate with the existing Fire Alarm System. The central supervising station receiving equipment is Monaco D2100 and the transceiver must be fully compatible with this equipment. Acquiring a different alarm system as a whole would incur the additional cost of training as well as doubling maintenance and equipment costs due to maintaining two different systems. By procuring an identical system, maintaining will be standardized and costs would be easier to control. Kingsley Field currently send three (3) personnel to annual Monaco training at a cost of approximately $7,500 annually. Procuring a different panel would add an additional annual training requirement that Kingsley Field’s travel authorizations may not be able to guarantee.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: The solicitation for the construction contract is being issued as a total 8(a) Sole Source set-aside. The brand name components represent a small portion (0.5%) of the overall construction project that is being competed.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: None

8. Market Research: The following market research techniques (FAR Part 10) were conducted within the previous 6 months:

a. Contacted knowledgeable individuals in the Government, including the ORANG Base Civil

Engineer and Deputy Base Civil Engineer, Fire Prevention Officer, Base Electricians and the

ANG Civil Engineer Technical Support Center regarding the market capabilities to meet the requirements.

Search of www.fbo.gov indicated within the last 12 months that the Departments of the Army and Air Force has posted similar justifications for brand name requirements for their applicable construction contracts.

c. In addition, the pre-solicitation notice specifying the intent to purchase this brand name equipment will be posted to FebBizOpps. This notice will invite persons who may have interest or capability to provide compatible equipment to respond accordingly. Any responses will be evaluation accordantly.
