The U.S. Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina has published a Special Notice announcing their intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Evergreen Fire and Alarms LLC for an Access Control System (ACS) replacement project. This notice specifically states it is not a request for competitive quotes and no solicitation will be forthcoming. The project involves replacing access control systems for the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. The work falls under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) with a large business size standard of $25 million and Product Service Code N063 for installation of alarm, signal, and security detection systems. The government intends to proceed under FAR Subpart 13.5 authority for this acquisition.

The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to compete the contract based on responses received, with information considered only to assess if bona fide competition exists.
