New requirement which will be sole source/brand name purchase. In an effort to standardize IDS equipment and to facilitate centralized monitoring of alarms, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) adopted the Advantor IDS as the standard system through a previously awarded competitive process. Building 7087 (Flight Simulator Enclosure) is currently in need of an Advantor IDS system. Because this system is proprietary in nature, we are required to purchase the services outlined in this requirement directly from Advantor sole source.

According to DoDM 5100.76_DAFMAN31-101v2 Each magazine and/or structure storing SRC I and II AA&E, shall be equipped with an intrusion detection system (exceptions are storage areas that are continuously manned or under constant surveillance to detect unauthorized entry).

The contractor Advantor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary to perform the installation of an intrusion detection system in Bldg. 7087 Flight Simulator Enclosure. This is an AMC directed installation of an intrusion detection system required to upgrade the simulator to MAF/DMO specifications for training.

10 USC 2304 (c) (1) FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements because Advantor is a proprietary system.

a.) Background: To standardize IDS equipment and to facilitate centralized monitoring of alarms, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) adopted the Advantor IDS as the standard system through a previously awarded competitive process. Building 7087 (Flight Simulator Enclosure) is currently in need of an Advantor IDS system.

Because the existing IDS is a proprietary system, this requires the installation of Advantor Parts by Advantor technicians.

b.) Justification: Noncompetitive procurement of these components is necessary since only one responsible source exists at this time. These proprietary components can only be obtained through Advantor and can only be installed by an Advantor licensed technician. Non-Advantor parts are not allowed to be connected to an Advantor system. The Advantor software does not have open architecture and the proprietary source code will not be released. In order to accommodate the customer's standardization goal for training, maintenance and security purposes, and to ensure complete compatibility and interoperability with the centralized monitoring station equipment, and the existing equipment no other products shall be used.

c.) Impact: Failure to acquire and install these components will not allow the IDS located at buildings 8843 & 2875 to be operational which poses a significant risk to the health and safety of individuals and reduces the
