This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract award by the 28th Contracting Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base.

The contract is for D-21 Monaco System and PMO Services at Ellsworth AFB with an estimated cost of $256,968.00 (Purchase Request/Local ID Number: F1V3M15149A001). The objective is to modernize the D-21 system hardware and software components, ensure continued system reliability, and enhance operational capabilities for incident detection, management, and recording, including a subsequent PMI visit approximately six months post-upgrades. The contracting officer has determined that only Monaco Enterprises, Inc. is reasonably available as a single source. The justification is based on the proprietary nature of the existing Monaco D-21 Fire Alarm Systems already installed in both Fire Station Dispatch Centers at Ellsworth AFB, which comply with SAF/CIO A6 guidance on Information Assurance system security and Air Force Authority to Operate (ATO) requirements. The document notes that Monaco does not support other contractors' use of their proprietary software or hardware, and the installed proprietary system prevents other contractors from upgrading the system without complete replacement. No competitive procurement actions can be taken until the entire alarm system is replaced. The contracting officer signed this determination on January 15, 2026.
