FORTS Upgrade Configuration - Justification Review Document

This is a Justification Review Document for a single-source procurement by the National Guard Bureau for the FORTS Upgrade Configuration. The contracting activity is the 165 MSG/MSC with the requiring activity being Savannah CRTC Security Forces. This is a new contract with Firm Fixed Price terms and O&M Air funding. The requirement involves the purchase and installation of two solid TSCIF end walls, including removal of existing double-door walls and tandem connection. Elite Aluminum Corporation (UEI - P4V7C6ZK2J98) is identified as the sole installer and proprietary owner of the TSCIF modular system. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for sole-source authority, establishing that Elite Aluminum Corporation is the only entity capable of performing the work due to its proprietary ownership of the TSCIF configuration and the requirement that any changes maintain system certification and warranty compliance.

The document confirms that no posting requirements apply and establishes that while this procurement is conducted as a sole source, any additional TSCIF systems may be competed in the future. Market research indicates several companies can provide modular TSCIF configurations, but the Georgia CRTC has inherited a proprietary system from the 117th manufactured by Elite Aluminum that requires Elite to perform modifications to maintain certification. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and the justification has been reviewed and approved as adequate to support other than full and open competition.
