Justification and Approval Redacted-25P0017.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for purchasing a specialized camera system. The purpose is to acquire and install (11) Long Range PTZ infrared 640 30/90MM Defend-IR Camera systems for the MAJCOM Nuclear Configuration Management Database (CMD), specifically for security of nuclear-based assets. The camera is the only model compatible with the current video management system (VICADS), and is the only IR camera listed as compatible with the system's video image control and display requirements.

The justification highlights that Prometheus is the owner of the current VICADS system and has trained technicians to install and ensure correct operation. The document indicates that markets will continue to be monitored for potential future competition, though current authorization from higher authorities has greatly restricted competitive options for this type of security requirement. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR regulations, that only a single source is reasonably available for this contract action. The contract is associated with the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command and appears to be part of a contract award valued at $176,579.80, dated 2025-03-19.
