Brand Name Justification with 8(a) Sole Source Procurement--IRS Beckley Security

This Special Notice from the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 3 concerns a brand name justification for an 8(a) sole source procurement to upgrade security at the IRS facility located in the Robert C. Byrd US Courthouse and Federal Building in Beckley, West Virginia. The project includes brand name requirements for Access Control, IDENTIV, Intrusion Alarm and Video Systems equipment that will integrate with the IRS's existing national security systems.

The procurement will be conducted as a sole source 8(a) small business set-aside awarded to a contractor approved by the Small Business Administration for $83,351.06 covering the brand name equipment and materials. The deadline for proposals was July 28, 2022, and the Special Notice communicated that the 8(a) contractor had already been selected rather than soliciting interested parties. The requirements specified the use of brand name physical security products from Access Control, IDENTIV, and video and intrusion alarm systems that were necessary to integrate with the IRS's current national security infrastructure.
