Justification and Approval - DoSINL-IR detector sig_Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports a sole-source procurement for Radiant Energy optical flame detection devices manufactured by Detector Electronics Corporation (Det-tonics) for the Department of State International Narcotics Law Enforcement Affairs Hangars Renovation Project at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida. The construction contract will renovate Hangars 985 and 986, with the specific requirement to install Model X3301 Multi-spectrum IR Flame Detectors, which are mandated by UFC 4-211-61 Aircraft Maintenance Hangar standards and deemed the only product meeting Department of Defense (DoD) safety requirements.

The procurement is being conducted as a firm-fixed-price construction contract funded through the Department of State Working Capital, with a competitive solicitation (W912EP25RA007) already issued. The government posted a sole-source notice on SAM.gov and conducted market research, but no alternative products were identified that could meet the detection system requirements. The total estimated value of the flame detection components is redacted, and the contract will require the construction contractor to procure the specific Det-tonics units as part of the hangar renovation project.
