JA_Fire Monitoring_Monaco Enterprises Incorporated (MEI)_Fully Signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District for a Monaco Enterprises Incorporated (MEI) fire monitoring system at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana. The J&A supports sole-source procurement of MEI's proprietary fire monitoring system as part of a firm-fixed-price construction contract for a new Indoor Small Arms Range facility.

The document justifies sole-sourcing to MEI because they are the original manufacturer and service provider of the existing base-wide fire/security systems, which use proprietary software that must remain compatible. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.gov on October 28, 2022, with no responses received. The project involves construction of a new firing range for up to .45 caliber handguns, 12 gauge shotguns, and rifles up to 7.62mm, with 21 firing positions and mobile target capabilities. The range must integrate with the base's existing Monaco D-21 system, as no other systems are deemed technically compatible. The J&A includes certifications from the Project Architect, Project Manager, Contracting Officer, and Senior Assistant District Counsel approving the sole-source justification.
