November 2018 Page 1 of 1

Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: AFTC/PZIOAD

Project/Program Name: Access Control System (ACS) and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Protection / 68 EWS FMS Facility, Bldg 1333

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1T0AW9322A001

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

68 EWS requires a building security access system for Bldg. 1333. The current system used by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) for access management is a Lenel system that is universal throughout the command. To guarantee interoperability between the new building access devices for the new building, and the current system, a brand name justification for Lenel equipment is required.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The 68 EWS requires installation of an access control system and closed circuit television system in the new/modified floors of Bldg. 1333 that is compatible with and integrates seamlessly with the current infrastructure. The installed Lenel system requires a Value Added Reseller (VAR) to perform the work. VARs are the only vendors authorized to maintain the system.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was conducted by the contracting office. The manufacturer website provided information on VARs authorized to perform the work. Several vendors were identified capable of fulfilling the requirement. A search of FBO, prior awards and FPDS revealed many authorized vendors capable of fulfilling this brand name requirement.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Market conditions will be monitored to look for opportunities to increase competition that will not duplicate cost due to compatibility issues.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
