Summary: Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI document) supporting a sole-source contract action valued under $10 million. The contracting activity is the 36th Contracting Squadron (36 CONS) at Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), with Nathaniel D. Entilla serving as the Contracting Officer. The justification was prepared in April 2026 and coordinated by the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate and the Chief of the Contracting Office.

The contract action concerns a follow-on upgrade to an existing Monaco Enterprises Inc. D-21 fire alarm system at Andersen Air Force Base. The upgrade involves repair-by-replacement of CPUs in buildings 23020, 20001, and 20010, installation of a new tower CPU and keypad, and software license transfers to new CPUs. Monaco Enterprises Inc. is justified as the sole source because it is the exclusive manufacturer and provider of the copyrighted D-21 system, which utilizes specialized hardware and software unique to Monaco. Unauthorized servicing would void the comprehensive warranty and create unacceptable system incompatibility and failure risks for this critical life-safety infrastructure. Market research confirmed no alternative sources possess the required copyrighted software, diagnostic tools, and factory authorization. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority permitting this non-competitive procurement. The contracting officer is responsible for ensuring fair and reasonable pricing per RFO Subpart 15.4. Post-completion, the contractor will provide D-21 operator training, formal D-21 documentation, system drawings, and verification of alarm and network connectivity across all facilities.
