- Description
- Notice Type: Notice of Contract Action � Video Safety Camera � Johnson Controls Inc Justification, Statutory Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Contract Award Date: TBD Contract Award Number: TBD Synopsis: This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. The United States Air Force Test Center/Directorate of Contracting (AFTC/PZZG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole source contract to Johnson Controls Inc for the video safety camera. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization. This authority allows other than full and open competition when the supplies or services requested by an agency are available from only one responsible source. Johnson Controls Inc has been identified as an efficient and reliable provider of similar services for Video Safety Camera, with the most recent award being FA930223P0004, awarded 15 Nov 2022. Johnson Controls Inc is the current supplier of cameras and auxiliary equipment in the compound. For congruency with existing systems in place these must stay the same to allow for no operational loss from switching. The Government does not perceive the benefits as outweighing the duplication costs which would result from a new source for this requirement. Johnson Controls Inc has the ability to meet mission schedules and most importantly, mission requirements and specifications for the unique supply specifications necessary. As a result, a Notice of Contract Action will be posted to SAM.gov to outline the justifications for this single source acquisition, followed by an RFQ letter sent to Johnson Controls Inc. The authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 USC 1901 - FAR 13.501(a) Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in- (A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition; or (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. It is recommended to obtain a solution to this requirement from Johnson Controls Inc. This requirement is to proceed as a sole source acquisition due to the need for continuity with the current equipment and manufacturing performed by Johnson Controls Inc, who was considered technically acceptable to meet the government requirement. As a result, it has been determined to be in the best interest of the Government to proceed with a single source acquisition to Johnson Controls Inc, the prior vendor for this type of requirement. Contractors must be registered in System for Award (SAM) at www.sam.gov Please submit all questions, comments and feedback regarding this notice via e-mail to the following Points of Contact by the deadline of 12:00 pm PDT on 23 May 2024: ?
