The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is issuing a Special Notice for a brand-name justification to purchase Lenel-brand items for its Office of Security. This notice precedes a competitive small-business-set-aside solicitation for Lenel OnGuard software upgrades, support plans (SUSP), and direct system user support, totaling an estimated $288,489.95 over a base year and four option years. The contract will be Firm-Fixed price and partly Labor-Hour, with an estimated delivery of 30 calendar days ARO. DOT requires Lenel products due to significant prior investment in their proprietary OnGuard Physical Access Control System, its compatibility with existing infrastructure, and the need to maintain warranties. Only Lenel-certified small businesses will be eligible to submit proposals, with selection based on the Lowest-Totally-Priced-Technically-Acceptable (LPTA) method. Market research confirmed Lenel as the only brand meeting DOT's quality and compatibility requirements. Interested non-Lenel-certified companies believing they can meet DOT's needs must submit a Statement of Qualifications by October 22, 2025.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is issuing a Special Notice as a Brand Name Justification for a forthcoming competitive small-business-set-aside solicitation. This solicitation is for Lenel-brand items and services, including software upgrades, support plans, and certified contractor services, for the DOT’s Office of Security. The contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price (and partly Labor-Hour) for a base year starting April 1, 2026, with four optional years. Lenel is the sole source due to its proprietary system's compatibility with DOT’s existing infrastructure and the significant capital investment already made. The procurement will be a Lowest-Totally-Priced-Technically-Acceptable (LPTA) selection among Lenel-certified small businesses under NAICS Code 541519. Market research confirmed no other brands meet DOT's requirements for quality and compatibility. A previous notice yielded no alternative qualified sources, reinforcing the need for Lenel-specific products and services.
Amendment No. 1 to DOT's Lenel Brand Name Justification / Special Notice No. 693JK426Q500001 clarifies that the procurement has not yet reached a solicitation stage and is not requesting proposals for security systems. It reiterates the allowance for interested firms not supporting Lenel-brand systems to submit Statements of Qualifications by October 22, 2025, 11:30 PM EDT. The amendment also introduces a potential change of the NAICS Code from 561621 to 541519. Firms, especially small businesses under NAICS Code 541519 interested in Lenel-security-system support, are invited to identify themselves and provide justification for the NAICS code change by the same deadline. Additionally, all interested firms, regardless of Lenel affiliation, are invited to explain by the deadline why they believe 561621 is more appropriate. This amendment adds no further information beyond these clarifications and invitations for feedback.
