Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a Sole Source Acquisition. The procurement is for SirCom AC Power Supply, Audio Amplifier, Siren Controller, and related equipment, with HQE Systems identified as the sole authorized SirCom reseller. The purchase request number is F8S3C05225AC01, and the fund type is O&M. Market research conducted on 15 Aug 2025 confirmed that ATI Systems could not repair the Mass Notification System (MNS) at 146 AW Channel Islands, and HQE Systems is the only vendor with compatible SirCom products for the existing MNS. The government plans to continue monitoring the MNS market for alternative brands that could provide compatible parts or equipment in future acquisitions. The contracting officer, William J. Tucker, signed the document on 15 Aug 2025, certifying the justification for this sole source purchase.
