Notice of Intent to Award to Sole Source: Lackland AFB Modernization

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center intends to award a sole-source contract modification to Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems (JCBAS) to modernize the Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) at Lackland Air Force Base, with capability statements due November 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST. The notice carries No Set-Aside Used. The procuring activity is AFLCMC/ESSK at Hanscom Air Force Base, and performance is at Lackland AFB. The requirement covers hardware and software procurement plus design and installation of upgraded equipment. JCBAS currently performs on-site sustainment and maintenance at Lackland and is executing parallel modernizations across the AFLCMC Central Region. The Government states that market research confirmed multiple vendors can meet the requirement but determined JCBAS is the only responsible source able to perform without unacceptable operational delays to base defense or cost duplication that competition cannot recover, citing 6.103-1(c)(2). Foreign participation is not permitted per DAFMAN 16-201. The NAICS code is 561621 with a $25 million size standard, and the PSC is 6350. Responsible sources who can meet the requirement without substantial cost duplication or unacceptable delay may email a searchable PDF Capability Statement to Contracting Officer Brittany Colton at brittany.colton@us.af.mil by 3:00 PM EST on November 20, 2026. This is not a request for proposals, and no formal solicitation will be posted. The Government will not pay for information or administrative costs, and it retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole-source modification or conduct a competitive procurement.
