Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System-VI (ICIDS-VI) - Sole Source Synopsis

Description

U.S. Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground, Belvoir Division issued a modification to the single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract W909MY-23-D0004, held by Evergreen Fire and Security at 2720 South J Street, Tacoma, WA 98409-8039 for Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System-Six (ICIDS-VI) to increase the current contract ceiling by $99.85M. This action is being conducted on a sole-source basis and processed in accordance with the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." A detailed Justification and Approval (J&A) document (Control Number JA-26-Belv-0149) was issued and approved in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure the continuation of critical services without disruption to the agency's mission. The Government requires continued fielding of ICIDS-VI. ICIDS-VI is a highly secure, standardized Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using state-of-commercial technology. The Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) OPMG�s new Fielding Plan requires ICIDS to be fielded to additional Army Installations, Contiguous United States (CONUS) and Outside Contiguous States (OCONUS) with continuing 10-year service life replacements which were not contemplated by the original fielding plan. The contract's ceiling increase will allow funding for the completion of the ICIDS-VI installation at new required sites. The Government has made a definitive determination that Evergreen Fire and Security is the only source capable of providing the required services within the required timeframe without causing unacceptable duplication of costs and critical mission disruption. The services required are a continuation of highly specialized work currently performed by Evergreen Fire and Security. The contractor possesses unique knowledge of the ICIDS-IV, and a change in contractors would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's mission requirements.
