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 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 # KJAQ199077 ADAL Communications B210 at Klamath Falls Airport, Kingsley Field, OR, included one Brand Name for 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.

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 communications facility 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: In accordance with FAR 5.202(a)(6) this item will be synopsized in the GPE.. The brand name components represent a small portion (0.01%) of the overall construction project that is being competed. Effective competition for this component is not applicable.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: None

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