X knowledge of installation in radio-based fire, security, and mass notification systems, as well as video and security alarm system extends worldwide. Monaco has supplied radio alarm systems to over 300 U.S. Government and civilian sites, including all military branches, industrial sites, colleges and universities.

Monaco is the original manufacturer and service provider for the Fire, Security, and Life Safety Equipment and services currently in use at Osan AB. These systems are primarily comprised of proprietary software developed by Monaco, which is than licensed directly to our end users. Monaco retains exclusive ownership of the software and does not authorize third parties to alter or add to Monaco software or equipment.

System design has been performed by Monaco Engineers to ensure seamless integration with the existing Monaco D-21 system at Osan AB.

Monaco is justified for the proposed equipment that reports to the existing Monaco D-21 System at Osan AB. The proposed equipment was selected for its compatibility with the existing Monaco System and the required specifications supplied by the customer.

Other equipment is not compatible or approved for use with the Monaco D-21.

Purchasing of other products from another manufacturer would therefore, likely, require a complete system replacement. A complete replacement would entail significant duplication of costs to the government, and would still, likely involve a proprietary system. Therefore, there are no other products from other manufacturers’ that would offer the same functionality.

Authority for this purchase is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) and DOD FAR Supplement 206.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Osan AB requirements.
