This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a single-source procurement below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Operations and Engineering Branch (OEB), seeks to renew annual maintenance and support services for RML Conference Room equipment and infrastructure in Kalispell, Montana for FY26. The total estimated value is $32,667 for a one-year performance period from the date of award. This is a follow-on procurement to the incumbent contractor, Systems Northwest, who has provided services under previous sequence numbers 1975570, 2029600, 2078567, 2121880, 2166486, and 2218334. The AMBIS sequence number for this requirement is 2278277.

The justification asserts that only Systems Northwest is capable of providing the required services due to their status as the sole local vendor with necessary expertise, knowledge, and physical security clearances to maintain conference room equipment and systems. The agency notes that the RML conference rooms support extensive internal meetings, videoconferences, and audio conferences with other locations, making equipment functionality critical for operations. Systems Northwest is identified as the only known company in the local area with the requisite qualifications for this specialized work. A price reasonableness determination will be included in the acquisition file prior to award.
