Intent to Sole Source - Advantor (WSA & IDS)

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 WSA (presumably Weapon Storage Area) and IDS (Intrusion Detection System) services. 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 under the System for Award Management (SAM) delivery order structure. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement with a total estimated value falling below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The notice provides a response deadline of August 31, 2025, for any interested parties to review the government's justification for this procurement approach.

The primary objective of this sole source award is to relocate Advantor/BDOC operations into a new SFS (Security Forces Squadron) building #341 with IDS capabilities to meet minimum AFI 31-101 standards, as outlined in the attached Justification and Approval document. The government has determined that Advantor Systems Corporation is uniquely qualified as the only contracted and approved provider for IDS equipment within the U.S. Air Force, possessing specialized technical expertise and access to proprietary components that cannot be readily obtained elsewhere. Since this is an intent to sole source rather than a competitive solicitation, there are no specific eligibility criteria for contractor participation, as the award is predetermined for Advantor. The procurement falls under the authority of 10 USC 3204(a)(1) or 41 USC 3304(a)(1), which allows for sole source contracting when only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements, and the contracting process is scheduled for completion by August 22, 2025.
