This is a Determination and Findings (D&F) for a Single-Source Acquisition under RFP Part 13, authorizing the U.S. Air Force to solicit from a single source for Verkada mobile security and surveillance equipment. The Purchase Request Number is F3Q3AG6104AW01, and the contracting activity is AFSC/PZIOB Robins OL.

The acquisition involves procurement of one fully operational, self-contained, solar-powered MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer with two (2) FIPS-compliant CP63 Outdoor PTZ Cameras, one (1) GC31 Cellular Gateway, necessary Power over Ethernet (PoE) injectors, and 5-year software and data licenses for a Command cloud platform to operate and manage the camera systems, cellular gateway, and security trailer. The total estimated contract value is $67,000.00. The justification for single-source procurement rests on Verkada Inc. being the only viable source for a proprietary, fully integrated solution where hardware and software components must be engineered to operate exclusively with one another. The required Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras must meet Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance, which only Verkada components satisfy. Market research conducted from April 16, 2026 through May 19, 2026 confirmed that only Verkada Inc. and authorized registered suppliers can provide the specific brand-name item meeting government requirements. The Contracting Officer determined that circumstances make only one source reasonably available under the authority of RFO 13.101(b), and the single-source acquisition is in the best interest of the Government.
