This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition document from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District for a Best Keying System to be installed at the Joint Base Maguire Dix Lakehurst (JBMDL) Vertical Skills Instructional Facility in New Jersey. The J&A authorizes a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 for the Best Lock keying system as a required brand name item in the construction contract.

The document outlines that this keying system is required to reduce maintenance costs, streamline operations, maintain key control, and ensure facility security for the new 9,500 SF MILCON construction project. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.gov on August 14, 2024, with a response date of August 29, 2024, with no interested sources identified to date. The facility will include training work bays, administrative support areas, classrooms, restrooms, and utility/mechanical areas. While specific costs are redacted, the document indicates the Best Lock keying system represents less than a specified percentage of the total contract value.
