Justification For Other Than Full Open Competition -Fire Alarm System

The Regional Contracting Office Wiesbaden is modifying the existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract W912CM-22-D-0002 to increase its ceiling from $3,250,000 to $4,250,000, enabling a sole-source task order for fire alarm system maintenance and inspection services at USAG Wiesbaden in Hesse, Germany. This modification is justified under FAR 6.103-1 due to the cancellation of a prior competitive solicitation, the urgent life-safety requirements of fire alarm systems, and the necessity to maintain uninterrupted service with the incumbent contractor, Gama Tronik Brandschutzsysteme GmbH, who possesses unique system knowledge and certified personnel essential for compliance with NFPA 72, DIN 14675, DIN 31051, DIN 14406, and DIN 14676 standards. The scope includes quarterly, semi-annual, and annual functional testing of initiating devices, battery load testing requiring replacement every five years, smoke detector sensitivity verification, and voice alarm system checks, all performed on-site and subject to inspection and acceptance by the Directorate of Public Works and the Authority Having Jurisdiction. The task order has a one-year performance period beginning May 30, 2026, with an option for a one-year extension to bridge the gap until a future Germany-wide Multi-Award Task Order Contract is established. No competitive evaluation factors are applicable, as this is a non-competitive action, and no detailed pricing, line-item breakdowns, or firm-fixed price components are provided beyond the revised ceiling. The contract operates under a firm-fixed price IDIQ structure, with no FOB terms applicable due to the service nature of the work, and no packaging, marking, invoicing methods, payment office details, or contractor certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status are explicitly listed. The procurement relies entirely on sole-source justification due to the absence of viable alternatives, the criticality of continuous fire protection, and the risk of life-safety violations if service is interrupted.
