Limited Competition Justification - W50S72-26-Q-7203.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for Wing Advantor Equipment replacement systems. The contracting activity is the 185th ARW/MSC, with the requiring activity being the 185th Security Forces Squadron. The procurement is for a new contract using Firm Fixed Price and O&M Air funding, with an estimated price that has been redacted.

The requirement is to replace existing Advantor system equipment across the base, including PTZ cameras, ADVI/ADV2 servers, video wall mounts, and DIVAR components. The justification for sole source procurement under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) is based on technical compatibility and proprietary constraints. The U.S. Air Force has approved three types of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) annunciators for Air Force installations: Advantor, Vindicator, and Will-Burt Annunciator (formerly Diebold). The 185th ARW currently operates the Advantor system, and Advantor parts and components are proprietary with no authorized distributors. Only Advantor software and components are compatible with the existing Advantor system, and any replacement components must interact with the existing system and can only be supplied by Advantor. A previous contract (W50572-25-P-A004) was awarded on September 24, 2025, under the same sole source authority. The Contracting Officer, Capt Allison Harbit, approved the justification on August 4, 2026, determining the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable. No posting requirements were identified for this procurement.
