Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition

1. Contracting Activity: 183 MSG/MSC, Springfield, IL

2. Description of Action: This approval is being requested for purchase of materials to match existing items of the Base Security System.

3. Description of Supplies/Services: This is a new installation of all necessary hardware and software to utilize the Advantor Alarm System to Building 1 – Centralized Repair Facility.

The current Base Security System, as required by NGB, is to have the base on a complete and total base security system. In addition to the security system, the building fire alarm panel must be able to communicate with the Advantor system to ensure the fire alarm systems can be monitored by security forces. The total estimated cost $5,000.

4. Authority Cited: 6.302-1: Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services

Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Components from other manufacturers are not compatible with the base system, and would require completely altering the base system to match the new component. This would be very costly and not advantageous to the Government.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Advantor is the only authorized vendor to provide security alarm systems for the Air National Guard. The existing security alarm system on 183 rd

FW is

Advantor.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: All construction contracts have the provision that they are to match existing security system. Competition is limited due to any new components must be compatible with the existing system.

8. Market Research:

9. Interested Sources: Advantor

10. Other Facts: Security Forces personnel have been trained on the Advantor system.

Implementation of second system would require additional training that is not cost effective.

Maintenance between two different security system manufacturers is not cost effective and would induce long periods of down time. Space is limited within the Central Security Control to accommodate another terminal.
