About this file

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source procurement of a Monaco fire alarm system for a new Security Training Facility at the 117th Air Refueling Wing in Alabama.

The J&A states that the Monaco fire alarm system is the only system compatible with the existing facilities and that using any other system would result in substantial duplication of costs. The estimated value of the sole source items is not provided. The J&A cites the authority under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) for only one responsible source. The Contracting Officer has approved the procurement of the Monaco fire alarm system on a sole source basis, subject to availability of funds.

The related federal contract opportunity is for the construction of a new approximately 9,941 square foot Security Building at the 117th Air Refueling Wing, with an estimated project value between $5-10 million. The contract will be a firm-fixed price award to the responsible bidder whose bid conforms to the invitation for bids and is most advantageous to the Government considering only price and price-related factors. The procurement is 100% set aside for Small Businesses.

Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition Sole Source Items within a Construction Project AFARS 5153.303-5

Contracting Activity: USPFO Alabama

Description of Action: BRKR009063 – Security Training Facility

Type of Action: New Contract Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Funding Type: MILCON

Description of Sole Source Items:

Monaco Fire Alarm System: This project includes installing a fire suppression system to include a new fire alarm system.

Estimated Value of Sole Source Items:

Authority Cited: United States Code 3304(a)(1) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302- 1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Reason for Authority Cited: The 117th currently uses the Monaco fire alarm system base wide. No other fire alarm transceiver will integrate with the Monaco system. Therefore, the use of any other fire alarm transceiver would result in a substantial duplication of cost that will not be recovered through competition.

Efforts to Obtain Competition: A pre-solicitation notice is placed in Sam.gov in order to give contractors an early notification of this project.

Market Research: The Monaco system is proprietary equipment; no other systems are compatible.

Facts: The Monaco System is the only product that is compatible with the occupied facilities at the 117th.
