About this opportunity

The New Hampshire Air National Guard has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Acoustic Technology Inc (ATI) for a Mass Notification Warning System at Pease Air National Guard Base in Newington, NH. This contract opportunity is designated for total small business participation and was posted on November 21, 2024, with a response deadline of December 13, 2024. The procurement stems from a previously terminated National Guard Bureau contract that was initially interrupted by COVID-19 in early 2021. ATI was a subcontractor on the original project and had already delivered system hardware, which has been in storage since the contract's termination. The government is pursuing a sole source award under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Source) due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and ATI's prior involvement.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to complete the installation and configuration of a base-wide Mass Warning Notification System, which includes design work, system integration, and comprehensive installation across multiple facilities. Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination must provide clear and compelling evidence demonstrating their capability to configure and program the specific ATI equipment and software. The project encompasses modifying existing central control units, installing indoor speaker units in over 25 buildings, and upgrading high-power speaker arrays with a performance period of 270 days after contract award. Eligible contractors must have specialized expertise in mass notification system design and integration, with specific qualifications to work with ATI systems. The system will integrate with existing networks like the Network Centric Alerting System and support automated telephone and SMS text alerts. Successful contractors will be responsible for providing all necessary hardware, software, materials, and up to 16 hours of training, while adhering to strict electrical, safety, and base security protocols.

Notice text

This purpose of this Special Notice is to indicate the New Hampshire Air National Guard's intent to award on a sole source basis to Acoustic Technology Inc (ATI), in accordance with (IAW) FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Source).  The Government earlier posted a sources sought notice W50S8A25QA001 on 24 October 24.

Pease Air National Guard Base (ANGB) requires the programing & installation of a Mass Warning Notification System on-site in Newington, NH. This work includes design work as well as the base-wide configuration of all components and integration with existing systems. National Guard Bureau (NGB) originally managed this effort through an agency-wide contract (W9133L-18-F-0042). The original contract was terminated in early 2021 in response to COVID-19. ATI was a subcontractor who was tasked with performance at Pease during that time. Although ATI delivered the system, they could not complete the site-work prior to termination. The hardware has been in storage ever since, and Pease must now contract independently to complete the project. The Government intends to sole source an award to ATI due to the equipment’s proprietary nature and as a logical follow on to the legacy contract.

If a vendor disagrees with the Government's intent to sole source to ATI please provide clear and compelling evidence that you have the ability to perform the required functions of this project, i.e. can configure/program ATI equipment and software.
