Limited Competition Justification - Advantor bldg 254 rm 214_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document and Memorandum for Record prepared by the National Guard Bureau to justify a single-source procurement action for an intrusion detection system installation.

The procurement concerns the installation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and full integration into the existing Advantor system in Building 254, Room 214 at the 185th Air Refueling Wing/Mission Support Center. The contracting activity is the 185th Security Forces Squadron, with the contract action classified as a new contract using firm fixed price terms and funded through O&M Air appropriation. The requirement justifies sole-source procurement under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The justification documents that the U.S. Air Force has approved three types of IDS annunciators for use on Air Force installations: Advantor, Vindicator, and Will-Burt Annunciator (formerly Diebold). The 185th ARW currently operates the Advantor System, and any components that must interact with the existing Advantor system can only be supplied by Advantor, as Advantor parts and components are proprietary in nature with no authorized distributors available. Market research confirmed no authorized distributors exist for required Advantor software or products. The procurement was previously awarded under contract number W50572-25-P-A004, dated September 24, 2025, with a competitive status of sole source. No posting requirements apply to this action. The contracting officer, Capt Allison Harbit, certified the anticipated government cost as fair and reasonable, with approval dated August 04, 2026.
