Intent to Sole Source - Advantor (Access Control)

The Department of the Army New York Army National Guard has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source contract to Advantor for access control systems. This notice serves as formal notification to the contracting community that the government intends to proceed with a non-competitive procurement under the System for Award Management (SAM) delivery order process. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed price arrangement with an estimated value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The notice specifically states this is not a request for quotes or proposals, indicating the government has already determined Advantor as the sole viable source for this requirement. The posting includes a Justification and Approval document that supports the sole source determination.

The primary objective of this procurement is to install an Access Control System for BDOC/Armories in building #341, consisting of proximity card readers, electronic locks with door position sensors, and request-to-exit egress devices that will integrate with existing Intrusion Detection System infrastructure. The sole source justification is based on Advantor being identified as the only contracted approved provider of Access Control System equipment within the U.S. Air Force, making them uniquely qualified for this specialized requirement. Contractors have until August 31, 2025, to respond to this notice, though the government is not seeking competitive proposals or quotes. The contract performance period is planned from May 30, 2025, to August 22, 2025, with Anthony Kirnicic designated as the point of contact. No specific eligibility criteria are outlined since this is a sole source procurement limited to Advantor based on their exclusive approved provider status.
