This brand name request is in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) and under FAR 6.302- 1(c) - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

5) Reason for Authority Cited:

AFI 31-101 Integrated Defense Chap 6.3 Intrusion Detection Systems directs units to consider the compatibility of all new IDS with already installed equipment and the maintenance and operator training. Currently 100% of alarm monitoring and 70% of access control is via Advantor Systems Corporation. Advantor Systems Corporation installed the original security system, all upgrades and the current installation of IDS in ASA alert facility and maintains rights to ASN 5.0. The proprietary nature of this system (software/equipment) limits any other contractor from upgrading this system.

FAR 6.302-1 ( c) provides the use of brand name descriptions when the requirement can only be met by one brand name product. Advantor Systems is the company that has provided the system and installation of existing systems. Another manufacturers system would not compatible with the current Advantor system.

6) Efforts to Obtain Competition:

Solicitation from Advantor Systems Corporation is the only practical method due to the proprietary nature of the system..

7) Actions to Increase Competition:

At this time, the 175th WG can take no action to overcome competition barriers due to the nature of the system (software/equipment) to be installed and the requirement that the warranty remain valid. If, in the future HQ AFSFC/SFXR selects alternate sources for approved fire systems and AFI compliance is maintained, the government will be in a better position to offer full and open competition for acquisitions of this nature.

It is the policy of this office to solicit for full an open competition to the fullest extent possible on all procurements.

The specific requirements for this acquisition can only be met by using other than full and open competition procedures.

8) Market Research:

Market research was not conducted because of the following: AFI 31-10 I Integrated Defense Chap 6.3 Intrusion Detection Systems directs units to consider the compatibility of all new IDS with already installed equipment and the maintenance and operator training.

9) Interested Sources:

Advantor Systems Corporation is the only known source for additional system integration and upgrade to the system that is presently in operation at the MD ANG.

Other Facts:

Currently 100% of alarm monitoring and 70% of access control is via Advantor Systems Corporation. Advantor Systems Corporation installed the original security system, all upgrades and the current installation of IDS in ASA alert facility and maintains rights to ASN 5.0. The proprietary nature of this system (software/equipment) limits any other contractor from upgrading this system. IAW FAR 8.405-6(a)(2), the award will be made for an item peculiar to one manufacturer and is essential to the Government's requirements, and market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs.
