Limited Competition Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document (CUI/SP-SSEL) from the National Guard Bureau for a single source determination to procure Assa Abloy (Mega Door) parts for alert shelter door structures.

The National Guard Bureau, located at 111 South George Mason Drive in Arlington, VA, is seeking to award a new firm fixed-price contract for O&M (Operation & Maintenance) and Air funds to the 115th Fighter Wing through the 115 MSG/MSC contracting activity. The requirement is for name-brand Assa Abloy Mega Door parts to replace alert shelter door structures, including fabric, seals, guides, battens, wiring, and miscellaneous hardware. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 12.102(a) as the authority for restricting competition through brand-name specification. The government determined that only Assa Abloy can meet compatibility requirements with the electrochemical drive and control system, and that installing alternative manufacturers' equipment would result in substantial cost duplication and unacceptable delays. Additionally, all seven remaining hangar doors on the building were previously produced by Assa Abloy, necessitating the same brand for uniformity in operation, appearance, and servicing. The document was prepared by Scott Honner, Contracting Officer, dated February 10, 2026, and certified by the Base Civil Engineer/COR on January 27, 2026. The justification includes posting requirements on the MFR and solicitation (FAR 12.202(b)(1)(iii)), with market research indicating alternative vendors may be capable of supplying comparable parts, though past experience indicates Assa Abloy as the sole practical producer.
