About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command issued a notice of intent to sole-source award a contract to Monaco Enterprises Inc. for a Fire Alarm Readiness System hardware and software upgrade, with a response deadline of 2:30 PM CST on September 14, 2026. This is a non-competitive award under FAR 6.103-1, justified on the basis that only one source is available to meet the requirement.
The 81st Civil Engineering Squadron requires an upgrade to its existing Monaco Fire Alarm Readiness System (FARS), including a Windows 11 migration and deployment of Monaco's D21 software version, plus updated preventative maintenance and inspection services. Monaco holds exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights to the proprietary FARS hardware and software architecture; market research through internet searches, subject matter experts, and a prior sources-sought notice yielded zero alternative vendors capable of supporting the system. The contracting officer determined that selecting an alternative vendor would necessitate complete system replacement at substantial cost.
Although the notice states this is not a request for competitive quotes, all capability statements and quotes submitted by the September 14 deadline will be considered. Interested parties may submit responses via email to rashawnda.bonham_mosley@us.af.mil and macey.behee@us.af.mil. The Government retains sole discretion to decline to compete based on responses received.
