8. Description of Supplies/Services Required: Repair and replace Monaco CPUs and associated systems with updated technology at the Fire Station.

9. Unique Characteristics that Limit Competition to a Single Manufacturer or a Single Source

The 145th Airlift Wing currently employs Monaco Enterprises, Inc. equipment/systems for our base-wide fire alarm. Monaco Enterprise, Inc.'s equipment/systems are proprietary in nature and no other manufacturer's equipment/systems can communicate and support the current Monaco Enterprise, Inc. equipment/systems currently employed at the 145th Airlift Wing.

This project does require Monaco System to communicate with Fire Alarm Systems on base signaling to each Fire Station to alert our responders when an activation occurs. To install another manufacturer's equipment/systems or equipment that is not compatible, would require substantial duplication of cost to the Government not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements would result. This procurement is being made pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)

(2) and FAR 6.302-1, for other than full and open competition; only one responsible source. Monaco installed the current system at the base and is the sole manufacturer.

10. Market Research: Monaco System utilizing RF to communicate with Fire Alarm Systems on base which signal to the D-21 Monaco System in each Fire Station to alert our responders when an activation occurs. This technology is not compatible with other systems.

11. Efforts to Obtain Competition and Increase Competition: Since we currently have the Monaco system in place no other approved Air Force system will be compatible. We would have to replace the entire system costing multi-millions of dollars.

13. Technical Representative Certification: I hereby certify that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the determination are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
