4. AUTHORITY CITED: Other than Full and Open Competition is authorized pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) and 6.302-1(b)(4) when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

a. Background: Engineering and Construction Bulletin No 2005-1, dated 18 March 2005, cites a policy memorandum from the Installation Management Agency (IMA) and the Director of Military Programs, dated December 14, 2004 which directs the use of the electronic card access systems on new construction projects and major building renovations on Army installations. The bulletin also directs that every Army Installation develop a master plan for the electronic key card access system that requires installation buildings to use equipment from a single manufacturer for consistency, compatibility, and sustainability. Best electronic card access systems and the Best lock cores are compatible with Eielson Air Force Base’s existing master keying system.

b. Justification: Eielson has established Best as the Installation’s master keying system with which all lock cores and keyless entry systems must be compatible. There are several manufacturers of locksets that accept Best interchangeable lock cores, therefore this J&A is for the lock core only and not lockset hardware. Lock and pinning codes are proprietary to each manufacturer thus multiple manufacturers require multiple master systems and do not meet the Installation’s requirement for a grand master keying system. The Best lock cores and Best card access readers comply with the Army’s standardization program.

c. Impact: Use of keying systems from multiple manufacturers is not in accordance with Air Force policy to have a standard keying system from one manufacturer for consistency, compatibility and sustainability and would result in the Installation having to maintain multiple grand master systems.

d. Alternatives: None. Eielson standard grand master lock system is Best. Specification of Best lock cores and card access readers is essential to the Government’s requirements, precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.

7. ACTIONS TO INCREASE COMPETITION: To ascertain whether existing manufacturers or new manufacturers entering the market have developed products or programming which will be compatible, interchangeable and competitive with the items identified in this document and currently in use, sources sought notices were published in FedBizOpps on 11 January 2017. The notice contains the Government’s intent to acquire the materials/systems included in this J&A on a sole source basis for facilities on Alaska military installations. No responses were received. No similar/compatible products were found.

8. MARKET SURVEY: Market research was conducted to determine if there are other manufacturers who can fully meet the Government’s requirements. No firms responded to the sources sought notice. No compatible products were found.

9. INTERESTED SOURCE: In accordance with FAR 5.102(a)(6), this J&A will be included with the solicitation when the solicitation is made available through the Government Point of Entry (www.fedbizopps.gov). Any sources that indicate interest as a result of the publication will be evaluated.

10. OTHER FACTORS:

a. Procurement History: The installation master plans have selected master/supervisory systems to comply with Army standardization programs and minimize risks to life safety in emergency situations. These construction materials are required in the EIE376 F-35 Hangar Propulsion MX/Dispatch, Eielson AFB, Alaska in order to interface with the existing master/supervising systems.

b. Acquisition Data Availability: Not applicable.

c. Unusual and Compelling Urgency: Not applicable.

d. Subcontracting Competition: Subcontracting opportunities exist for suppliers, distributors, and/or installers. This is a restrictive specification that only precludes consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Subcontracting competition will be the responsibility of the Prime contractor awarded the contract.

4. AUTHORITY CITED: Other than Full and Open Competition is authorized pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) and 6.302-1(b)(4) when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

a. Background: Eielson AFB Base is converting to a Delta Controls DDC system for monitoring and controling the HVAC sytems in all facilities on Base. The DDC systems in each facility must have the capability to communicate with the Base wide systems.

b. Justification: The direct digital control devices and controller must communicate with the the existing basewide Delta controls system. Intallation of another system manufacturer would not meet this requirement. Additionally, installation of another system would require substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered. These costs would include:

- Additional training for Base technicians learn a different controls system

- Requirement for stocking duplicate spare parts for different controls system

- Duplicate effort for installing software upgrades

- Modification of existing/future service contracts to include a different controls system

c. Impact: Failure to incorporate the requirement for compatibility with the existing Eielson AFB DDC system will result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

d. Alternatives: None. Specification of a Delta controls system is essential to the Government’s requirements, precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.

4. AUTHORITY CITED: Other than Full and Open Competition is authorized pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) and 6.302-1(b)(4) when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

a. Background: Eielson AFB Base Security Forces utilize a Vindicator Command and control software suite integrated with a V5 IDS Server System that controls the intrusion detection system (IDS) of the security system. Compatible equipment in each alarmed area must have the capability to communicate with the base-wide security systems.

b. Justification: In accordance with the “HQ USAF/A7S, Non-Nuclear Intrusion Detection System Equipment Approval” memorandum, dated 29 January 2014 Eielson AFB is allowed to use only the Will-Burt Annunciator, Advantor Annunciator, or Vindicator Annunciator; the current Eielson configuration is with Vindicator. The total Vindicator infrastructure at Eielson is estimated at with unknown replacement costs. In addition; per “IC Tech Spec-for ICD/ICS 705” dated April 23, 2012; “Independent alarm systems shall not be installed in a CA (controlled area)”. Honeywell Vindicator is the sole manufacturer of the Vindicator Security Platform. They maintain a robust distribution of factory-certified firms who can distribute Vindicator equipment and who can also employ factory-certified installers and engineers. Currently Eielson employs several factory-certified maintainers; this has proven to be a significant cost savings over the past 10 years.

This J&A is for interface and data processing units only; any (non-addressable) sensors or additional installation material can be provided by other manufacturers.

c. Impact: Failure to incorporate the requirement for compatibility with the existing intrusion detection system will result in a failure to meet functional and design requirements of each system and could result failure of accreditation for secure operating areas and failure of security event notifications to law enforcement personnel.

d. Alternatives: None. Specification of a Honeywell Vindicator Intrucsion Detection System is essential to the Government’s requirements, precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.
