Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense, through the Department of the Army’s 188th Wing, Arkansas Air National Guard, is pursuing a sole-source procurement for the delivery and installation of the Digital Microwave Intrusion Link at the Fort Smith, Arkansas installation. The work is to replace the existing Southwest Digital Microwave Intrusion Link and support the wing’s security system through Advantor Systems Corporation, which is identified as the only approved and authorized contractor and the sole manufacturer of the current system. The requirement is being pursued as other-than-full-and-open competition because the equipment is proprietary to the installed access control and intrusion detection system, and the effort is described as a new firm-fixed-price agreement. The procurement is not currently funded, but if funding becomes available before 30 September 2026 an award may be made to Advantor, and interested sources must respond by 1:00 p.m. CST on 12 May 2026 by email to MSgt Robin Swaim-Cherry.

AI Summary
This Justification Review Document from the National Guard Bureau outlines a sole-source contract for the Advantor Microwave Intrusion Link. The contract, a new firm-fixed-price agreement with Advantor, is justified under 41 USC 1901 as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to Advantor being proprietary to the existing security system at the installation. The requirement is to replace the Southwest Digital Microwave Intrusion Link, and Advantor is cited as the only compatible company. Market research efforts to obtain competition were explicitly stated as "NONE" because Advantor is the only company compatible with the current security system. The document includes certifications from the requiring activity and the contracting officer, confirming the accuracy of the justification and the fairness and reasonableness of the anticipated cost.
