    Title

    The document outlines a justification for a sole source procurement for security services at the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) facilities. The need for a contractor to maintain security systems—including PCAS, IDS, CCTV, and SMS—within a four-hour response time underscores the urgency and specificity of the requirements. Pyrocom is identified as the only vendor capable of meeting these requirements, due to its proximity to El Paso and expertise with the specific security equipment in use. The document includes a certification statement by both the requester and the contracting officer, affirming that only one source is reasonably available. Market research conducted via GSA eLibrary and other resources confirmed the lack of alternative vendors that could fulfill the agency's needs without compromising response time and security. This justification aligns with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, enabling the agency to proceed with the procurement without competitive bidding due to the unique circumstances surrounding the contract.
    The Statement of Work outlines the requirements for maintaining, repairing, and replacing the security system and equipment at the USIBWC Headquarters in El Paso, Texas. The USIBWC, responsible for managing U.S.-Mexico water treaties, seeks a contractor to work closely with its Security Services Division (SSD) in maintaining various security systems, including the CCURE 9000 Security Management System, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and Physical Access Control Systems (PACS). The contractor must provide 24/7 support, respond to service requests within four hours, and conduct annual inspections and software updates. The document specifies the contractor's responsibility to supply loaner equipment and ensure compatibility when replacing components. An equipment list is available but requires a signed nondisclosure agreement from the vendor. This RFP emphasizes compliance, efficiency, and continuity of security operations at the federal agency's facility, reflecting the government's commitment to maintaining secure and operational infrastructure.
