Solicitation JA Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification form for a Simplified Procedure for Commercial Items, issued by the 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen AFB. The procurement involves upgrading the Windows 10 Vindicator Badge Management (VBM) system in building 2403, which requires removing the current Restricted Area Badge (RAB) VBM system and transferring its data onto the new Windows 10 VBM. The justification is based on the requirement to maintain compatibility with the base-wide security system, which uses Honeywell Vindicator Technologies equipment. A Request for Information (RFI) was posted for 10 days, with two vendors (Honeywell Vindicator and IQ Tribal) expressing interest, though only Honeywell can provide the specific proprietary system needed.

The procurement is classified as an operational program type with a funding level between >SAT and ≤$750K. The contracting activity anticipates determining a fair and reasonable price based on competitive quotations. Market research conducted through the Federal Procurement Data System identified several qualified vendors, including Drake Consulting LLC and HQE Systems, Inc. The government intends to continue using Honeywell Vindicator systems throughout their useful life cycle and will upgrade to ensure base interoperability. The solicitation will be posted on a GPE(SAM) for 14 days, allowing small businesses registered in SAM to respond.
