About this opportunity
The 97th Contracting Squadron at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, has issued a Special Notice for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Access Control Systems (ACS) installation at LAMS facilities located at Ebbing Field, Arkansas. The government intends to award this contract to ADVANTOR (CAGE: 1S063) under a sole-source procurement authority pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). This procurement specifically involves a full turnkey installation and service for a flightline armory security system. The contract will be executed through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule Program, leveraging existing GSA pricing structures. The government has determined that only ADVANTOR is capable of providing the required services due to the proprietary nature of the existing closed stand-alone system.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to determine whether other contractors possess the capability to meet the requirement before proceeding with the intended sole-source award to ADVANTOR. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by September 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM CST via email to the designated contracting officers. These submissions must include technical data and convincing evidence demonstrating the ability to provide service and preventative maintenance for the proprietary software and equipment within the closed system. The government emphasizes that only capability statements with sufficient detail will be considered, and requests for documentation or submissions containing only questions will not be accepted. The procurement is justified as sole-source because the proprietary nature of ADVANTOR's system prevents other contractors from upgrading or maintaining the equipment, making competitive procurement impractical for this specialized security installation requirement.

Requests for documentation, additional information, or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response.
A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a single source procurement.
