Or

FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) and 8.405-6(b)(1)Brand Name FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A) Urgency FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) Only One Source is Capable FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) Logical Follow-on

5. Reasons for Authority Cited:

a. CCAD currently has over 102 SSP-EP control boards, 400 RSC-2 subcontroller, and 250 power control boxes installed throughout the Depot. These access control hardware allows for the seamless integration into the 656 HID PIV (PIV) Personal Identification Verification readers throughout the depot. This procurement is based on the current need for an additional access control hardware to be distributed throughout building 1770 (Phase 2) addition. This access control hardware was not procured during the initial phase of the construction project of building 1700 (phase 2). Not procuring this access door hardware with the associated part numbers as requested, will not allow CCAD the ability to bring building 1770 (Phase 2) online. CCAD Security currently does not have the number of required access control hardware in inventory to bring Building 1770 (phase 2) online and within FIPS 201-2 compliance.

b. FIPS has certain products listed on the Approved Products List (APL), which includes Open Options. Since CCAD is already utilizing DNA Fusion software, Open Options is the only viable brand, on the APL, that will integrate with DNA Fusion software. The Open Options products will integrate with our DNA Fusion software to allow for the electronic control of all PIV readers that allow CCAD Security the ability to open and close doors remotely along with 24 hour surveillance.

c. Access control coverage is critical function in providing physical security, life safety and loss prevention at CCAD facilities while protecting the DA (Department of Army) assets and personnel events like a possible active shooter actions. This combination of hardware and PIV readers has made CCAD successful in meeting the current standards set by the (FIPS) 201-2 Federal Information Processing Standards. Without these equipment the Depot will not be in FIPS 201-2 compliance.
