About this file
This justification and approval document supports a sole source procurement for fire monitoring system equipment and software from Monaco Enterprises Incorporated for a Child Development Center construction project at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The solicitation was issued by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville as solicitation number W912QR23R0028. The justification cites that MEI is the only manufacturer that can ensure compatibility with the base-wide fire monitoring system currently in use, for which the government has an existing maintenance contract. Market research found no other equipment that would integrate seamlessly. Notice of intent to sole source was posted on SAM.gov on March 16, 2023 with no other sources expressing interest. The contracting officer determines the anticipated cost from MEI to be fair and reasonable based on the project estimate and recommends proceeding with the sole source award for prompt service delivery.

c) Impact: Failure to establish adequate compatibility will result in delayed emergency response times. We utilize a base-wide maintenance contract to maintain these systems and installing a new system would require additional training and the establishment of another service contract at a significant cost to the government.
d) Alternatives: None viable to achieve a fully functioning system for the reasons noted above in paragraph 5. b) and c).
6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Technical capabilities of various manufacturers were reviewed for compatibility to the current system. None of the various manufacturers’ equipment would ensure a seamless compatibility with the existing system which currently utilizes Monaco Enterprises Incorporated (MEI) fire monitoring system equipment/software exclusively.
A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on the SAM.gov website on 16 March 2023. To date, no other sources have written to express interest.
7. Actions to Increase Competition: Apart from the complete replacement of the current system in its entirety, competition will be limited. This is a finite requirement with no future needs, and therefore there are no actions to increase future competition.
8. Market Research: A technical review and evaluation was conducted of the system requirements for the Child Development Center project. As discussed above, in paragraph 6 above, only Monaco Enterprises Incorporated (MEI) fire monitoring system equipment/software will ensure seamless compatibility with the existing system.
Interested Sources: A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on the SAM.gov website on 16 March 2023. To date, no other sources have written to express interest.
9. Other Factors: None
