Intent to Sole Source - Advantor (Airfield Camera)

The Department of the Army New York Army National Guard has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Advantor Systems Corporation for an airfield camera system at Gabreski Air National Guard Base. This is not a request for quotes or proposals, but rather a formal notification of the government's intention to proceed with a sole source procurement. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed price delivery order through the System for Award Management (SAM) with a total estimated value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement falls under the Security Systems Services category and involves miscellaneous alarm, signal, and security detection systems. The notice was posted on August 25, 2025, with responses due by August 31, 2025.

The purpose of this sole source procurement is to extend the existing Advantor infrastructure at the airfield, requiring specialized technical expertise that only Advantor Systems Corporation can provide. The justification for sole source selection is based on the proprietary nature of the Advantor alarm system, which requires specific technical knowledge and access that only Advantor technicians possess for installation and integration. Contractors interested in this opportunity should note that this is not open for competitive bidding, as the government has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency requirements under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) and 41 USC 3304(a)(1). The procurement is being managed by Contracting Officer Anthony Kirncic from the 106th Rescue Wing, with technical oversight from the Intelligence division. No previous procurement of this specific item has been conducted, and the contract will be funded under Operations and Maintenance Air appropriations.
