About this opportunity
The 2d Contracting Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the provision of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) equipment for Building 5454 at 8th Air Force, Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Headquarters. This Special Notice, posted on March 3, 2026, by the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, announces the agency's intention to award a contract on a sole source basis to Prometheus Security Group Global, doing business as LDIA Holdings, LLC. The procurement falls under the Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems category (PSC 6350) and is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The notice is issued in accordance with federal acquisition regulations 41 U.S.C. 1901 and 41 U.S.C. 3304, which govern sole source acquisitions.
The primary objective of this acquisition is to install and maintain PSG's proprietary VICADS system for critical security infrastructure at AFGSC Headquarters, with the government justifying the sole source award based on the system's unique technical capabilities, security protocol compliance requirements, and the necessity for system uniformity across the facility. Interested contractors have until March 18, 2026, to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration by the agency, despite the stated intent to sole source. While the notice is set aside for small business concerns, all responsible sources are permitted to submit documentation for evaluation under FAR 5.207(16)(i). The government emphasizes that alternative solutions would compromise operational efficiency, increase costs, and introduce unacceptable security risks given the sensitive nature of Air Force security requirements. Contractors should demonstrate their ability to provide IDS and ACS equipment that meets the specific technical and security standards required for this critical Department of Defense facility.
Notice text
1. The 2d Contracting Squadron, Barksdale AFB, hereby submits an intent to sole source in accordance with (IAW) 41 U.S.C. 1901 and 41 U.S.C. 3304.
2. Prometheus Security Group Global (PSG), doing business as LDIA Holdings, LLC, has been identified as the sole source capable of providing the necessary Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) for Building 5454, 8 AF, AFGSC Headquarters (HQ). Given the proprietary nature of PSG's VICADS system, the necessary compliance with security protocols, and the critical need for system uniformity, Prometheus Security Group Global is the only viable provider for this project. Sourcing the required IDS and ACS equipment from PSG through a sole source acquisition is not only justified but necessary to maintain the security, integrity, and functionality of the systems. Alternative solutions would compromise operational efficiency, incur additional costs, and introduce risks that cannot be accepted, especially given the sensitive nature of the Air Force's security requirements. Therefore, procuring these services from PSG is both a practical and justified decision.
3. Subject to FAR 5.207(16)(i), All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, roposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
