JA Fire Alarm System Upgrade_Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole-source acquisition valued under $10 million.

The 36th Contracting Squadron (36 CONS), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), seeks to procure fire alarm system upgrades for buildings 23020, 20001, and 20010 at Andersen Air Force Base. The work involves repair-by-replacement of CPUs in existing buildings, installation of new tower CPUs and keypads, configuration with the base's current D-21 database and V2 software upgrade, decommissioning of existing CPUs, installation of two replacement widescreen monitors with UPS for backup power, verification of alarm and trouble transmission across LAMAS systems, and verification of network connectivity at all installation facilities. Upon completion, the contractor will provide D-21 operator training and deliver standard forms, system drawings, and documentation of all work completed. The justification is dated April 22, 2026, with coordination approvals from the Legal Reviewer (April 27, 2026) and Chief of the Contracting Office (April 29, 2026).

The sole-source justification is based on Monaco Enterprises Inc. being the exclusive manufacturer and authorized service provider for the copyrighted Monaco D-21 fire alarm system currently installed at Andersen AFB. The document establishes that only Monaco possesses the specialized hardware, software components, and factory authorization necessary to perform compatible upgrades without voiding the system warranty or introducing unacceptable risk of malfunction. Market research confirms no alternative sources possess the required copyrighted software and diagnostic tools, and the document notes that unauthorized servicing would immediately void the comprehensive warranty. The authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), permitting sole-source procurement when only one responsible source exists.
