This document is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record - Absence of Competition for a sole source contract with Automated Building Systems, Inc. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract for Automated Building Systems Service, specifically covering Alerton direct digital controls (DDC) system maintenance at their facilities. The contract is associated with the CEKT252086 project and will involve maintenance of DDC systems on the installation, with Automated Building Systems being the only local vendor authorized to perform work on their proprietary systems.

The sole source justification is based on Automated Building Systems being the exclusive authorized provider in the region certified to maintain and repair Alerton systems. The contract aims to prevent potential system degradation, avoid voiding existing warranties, and mitigate risks of inoperability that could increase government costs. The procurement will be conducted under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with a targeted contract date of June 2025. Interested parties can submit a capability statement by June 25, 2025, though the government retains discretion on whether to pursue a competitive procurement.
