4. Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open

Competition for this procurement is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) (ii) (A) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The Von Duprin products have been standardized throughout the BEP facility. Installing a different manufacturer’s system will create significant duplication in cost for the facility and may not function properly with the existing system. Von Duprin is the only UL listed and ANSI/BHMA certified brand of products and systems that meets all the required door hardware applications, controlled access integrations and special locking arrangements including backwards compatibility with existing facility door hardware legacy applications currently in operation at the BEP facility. In addition, these components are the same as existing at the facility and the end user has been trained regarding operation of the openings for life safety and security. Also, the facilities maintenance and security staff maintain inventory of these items for immediate resolve of any issues that are an immediate threat to the integrity of the security of the facility. Thus, utilizing a different brand name equipment will result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The new equipment will need to be compatible with BEP’s existing system, incompatibility will result in an impact to BEP’s operations and may result in an impact to National security and the U.S economy as the BEP WCF produces approx. 65% of the U.S currency each year and is only one of two facilities nationwide that produces U.S currency.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: In accordance with the Competition in Contracting

Act (CICA), the component identified above is identified as brand name; however, the overall procurement for construction of the BEP Expansion will be competed using an Unrestricted full and open competitive Best-Value acquisition.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Competition is anticipated for the overall acquisition of the BEP Expansion construction. Which is estimated between $100M and $250M. It will be the responsibility of the offerors to obtain competitive pricing from the manufacturer/supplier of the Von Duprin equipment and to submit a proposal for the project.

8. Market Research: Previous projects, at the BEP Facility, have had problems with the interfacing using other vendors’ products. The system has proprietary language that is not recognized by other manufacturers. Internet searches for other viable vendors were unsuccessful. Approval of these items as brand name is critical to ensure BEP’s critical services to Manufacturing / Production are not interrupted, interruptions to BEPs operations may impact National security and the U.S economy.

9. Interested Sources: To date, no other sources have expressed an interest.

10. Other Facts:

a. BEP WCF is one of only two locations nationwide that produces U.S currency with the other location being located in Washington, D.C. Currently, the Fort Worth WCF produces approx. 65% of the U.S currency each year, which may grow as the WCF is in the process of a major construction expansion. Any impacts to the BEP WCF’s operations with the production of currency could severely impact the U.S economy.

b. Technical data packages, specifications, engineering descriptions and statements of work have been written to be suitable for full and open competition to the maximum extent possible.
