About this file

This is a Justification Review Document for a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 Brand Name acquisition. The document justifies a sole-source, brand-name-only contract for Lenel OnGuard badging system services at Irwin Army Community Hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas.

The requirement involves upgrading the hospital's badging system to replace an obsolete Enterprise Physical Security Access Control System (PACS) that is degrading and creating operational and security risks. The contracting approach is a firm-fixed-price, competitive brand-name-only total small business set-aside under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial products and services (Title 41 U.S.C. 1901, FAR 12.201-1). The contract value is $1.7 million with an August 2026 projected award date and fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance funding. Solicitation number W911RX-26-Q-A050 was posted in GPE as a Combined Synopsis and Solicitation. Market research conducted June 14-July 2026 identified ten vendors responding to a Sources Sought synopsis, with six small businesses—Tru Vantage Solutions Inc., Enspyre Management Services, Government Contracting Services, Electronic Contracting Company, Kenton Brothers Inc., and Ailani Hawaiian Federal—confirmed as technically capable of installing and maintaining the Lenel OnGuard system. The justification cites the system's proprietary architecture and security protocols as incompatible with alternatives, making Lenel OnGuard the only product meeting the hospital's 100% interoperability requirement with existing hardware while maintaining DoD Risk Management Framework accreditation and Authority to Operate status. Previous related procurements included contracts awarded under brand-name-only arrangements between March 2022 and September 2026, ranging from $39,614 to $530,726.

permitting multiple authorized vendors, certified Lenel integrators to bid competitively on the fulfillment.

b. Alternatives. Only Lenel OnGuard software can direct, provision, and receive encrypted telemetry from these controllers. Introducing an alternative brand of software would require complete tear-out and replacement of all field panels, modules, and card readers. Transitioning to a non-compatible platform would render PACS offline during installation, creating severe physical security gaps at facility entry points.

c. Impact if justification not approved: The existing Lenel OnGuard system is fully accredited under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and possesses an active Authority to Operate (ATO) on the Department of Defense (DoD) network. Introducing a non-Lenel system would void the current security posture and require a brand-new, multi-year RMF certification process, creating unacceptable immediate vulnerability.

7. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Although the brand name is restricted to Lenel OnGuard, competition will be maximized among authorized resellers. Lenel sells its products and services through a robust network of Value-Added Resellers.

The Contracting Officer shall publish the notices and solicitations as required by RFO FAR 5.201 in the GPE and any proposals received shall be considered.

a. Effective competition: Effective competition will be achieved by posting the solicitation for this requirement in GPE as a Brand Name Only total small business set-aside.

b. Subcontracting competition: Requirement is Total Small Business set-aside; no subcontracting opportunities expected.

8. Actions to Increase Competition: There are several small business entities capable of fulling this requirement. As required by the DFARS, a Sources Sought Synopsis was posted on the GPE and the results were incorporated into the Market Research report and this Justification. The Combined Synopsis and Solicitation will be published in the GPE and any proposals received shall be considered. Although the brand name is restricted to Lenel, competition will be maximized among authorized resellers. Lenel sells its products and services through a robust network of Value- Added Resellers.

GSA Advantage was searched to find a Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) specifically for service providers. Three schedule holders were identified; two large and one small. There is not an expectation of two or more Small Business entities submitting offers. Therefore, GSA eBuy will not be used.

9. Market Research: Market research conducted 6 June 14 July 2026 indicates that there are multiple certified Lenel partner integrators capable of performing the installation, license renewal, and maintenance. No other software can meet the agency's strict requirement of 100% interoperability with the currently installed physical

off in the emergency room has malfunction, forcing staff to open the door from the inside. The Inpatient behavioral health main entrance has malfunction. The system did not allow badges to be scanned from the outside, forcing staff to open the door from the inside. This could pose a risk during code green (combative patients) since staff restraining the patient could be taken from providing safe restraint to the patient to open the door. The Primary care clinic medical supply room has malfunction. The system either keeps the door locked or unlocked, creating a delay in getting supplies or having supplies unsecured. During the last couple of months there have been numerous instances where the badging system randomly removes users with previous access and doors from the system.

Potential catastrophic impact if not solved: The system could potentially malfunction by keeping a door locked or not recognizing badges during a medical emergency such a code blue (cardiac arrest).
