DLA Disposition Services HQ facilities existing Advantor alarm system

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for facilities operations and maintenance, repair, and support services for their headquarters' existing Advantor alarm system located at the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center in Battle Creek, Michigan. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b) authority, meaning no solicitation document will be issued and quotes will not be requested. The contract requires specialized services for an Intrusion Detection and Access Control alarm system that demands Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, supplies, and proprietary knowledge for continuous monitoring and maintenance. Advantor Systems Corporation is identified as the only responsible source with the necessary proprietary rights to the software and hardware, along with the technical expertise required to maintain the existing system. The notice indicates this is a synopsis and notice of intent, with the due date for this pre-solicitation set for August 1, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded directly to Advantor Systems Corporation as the sole capable provider. The estimated contract value is $95,103.84, covering facilities operations and support services critical for building and personnel security. The performance period is structured with one 12-month base period followed by four additional 12-month option periods, potentially extending the contract for up to five years total. Market research conducted through GSA Advantage identified potential alternative vendors, but none were determined to possess the specific technical capabilities required for this specialized alarm system. The justification emphasizes that replacing the existing system would necessitate complete equipment replacement and could create dangerous security lapses during transition periods.
