This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals; however, sources interested in responding must submit a capability statement that includes technical data and cost information by the deadline of September 23, 2024, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

    The 99th Contracting Squadron is seeking to procure and install an Advantor Duress System at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB). The purchase includes four wireless duress remotes, one receiver, and one IDS panel. The justification for selecting Advantor System Corporation as the sole source vendor is based on the existing utilization of their Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and adherence to security equipment approval by the Air Force Security Forces Center. Advantor holds proprietary rights and is the only certified provider capable of ensuring compatibility with the current security apparatus, thus preventing potential system failures or warranty voids from using incompatible equipment. Efforts to solicit competition were deemed infeasible due to these unique requirements, and the Air Force Security Forces Center plans to monitor the market for alternative IDS solutions to prevent future sole-source awards. Ultimately, the contracting officer determined that only a single source was available to meet these specialized needs.
