This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) for a federal procurement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Information Technology Acquisition Unit (ITAU) is seeking to award a sole-source, hybrid firm fixed price and time and materials contract to NAMSI LLC for Adaptive Central Receive (ACrx) Antenna Installation Services at Trump Plaza in New Rochelle, NY, and Trump World Tower in New York City. The requisition number is SHOP-PR-26-002014, with a performance period of 180 days from award date. The contract requires antenna installation, alignment, cabling, testing support, and coordination for electrical supply for associated transmission equipment to support the Advanced Wireless Services-3 (AWS-3) Spectrum Relocation Program, which addresses video surveillance microwave transmission capability issues in the New York City area caused by the AWS-3 frequency auction of 2015. NAMSI LLC serves as both building rooftop manager and telecommunications manager for these two optimal antenna locations, and they exclusively control access and vendor selection for telecommunications work at their facilities. The FBI has established precedent for using NAMSI LLC at other NAMSI-managed properties for ACrx installations. The justification notes that no viable alternative exists because required technology cannot be installed at locations not already vetted and approved by NAMSI LLC. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market data comparison, historical pricing, independent cost estimates, or commercially available information. The sole-source announcement will be published on SAM.gov as required, with future ACrx installation efforts attempting to use multiple qualified sources where practicable.
