AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army’s Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires intends to award a sole-source contract to COLSA Solutions, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for the maintenance of its Access Control System under the authority of the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 and FAR 6.302-5(b)(6). This action is grounded in statutory intent to provide maximum contracting opportunities to SDVOSBs and follows prior sole-source awards for the same system under Title 10 U.S.C. §3204(b)(B) due to unacceptable delays in meeting mission-critical needs. The system includes cameras, CCTV, turnstiles, badge readers, magnetic locks, gates, and sensors essential to operational security at Redstone Arsenal. Market research confirms that only COLSA Solutions has the technical expertise, personnel, and familiarity with the system to perform the work without disruption, and competition via standard channels would likely result in award to a large business, undermining the statutory goal of supporting SDVOSBs. This notice is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals will be issued; however, any responsible SDVOSB may submit a capability statement to demonstrate its ability to fulfill the requirement by the deadline of June 11, 2026, at 1600 EST, via specified email addresses. All submissions must be unclassified and labeled with the subject line “PAE Fires ACS Response to Notice of Intent to Sole Source.” The Government will not conduct briefings, reimburse proposal costs, or be obligated to award based on submissions. Subcontracting opportunities may be available through COLSA Solutions. The North American Industry Classification System code for this acquisition is 561210, and performance will be based in Huntsville, Alabama, with the contracting office located at Redstone Arsenal.

Full Description
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE-SOURCE AWARD UTILIZING FAR 6.302-5(b)(6), “AUTHORIZED OR REQUIRED BY STATUTE” AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR QUOTES.
The Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires intends to issue a sole source solicitation in accordance with FAR 6.302-5(b)(6), Authorized or Required by Statute, specifically under the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 657f, which authorizes sole source awards to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The Government intends to award a sole source contract to COLSA Solutions (CAGE: 5YPS5, 225 W Park Loop NW Huntsville, AL 35806), an eligible SDVOSB for the award of maintenance for the PAE Fires Access Control System (ACS). The proposed award follows the sole source awarded contract number W9124P-20-C-0049 and subsequent bridge W9124P-26-P-A008. These awards were made on a sole source basis in accordance with Title 10 United States Code §3204(b)(B) as implemented in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(b), Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements.
PAE Fires has a requirement to maintain an extensive access control system to include, but not limited to: cameras, closed-circuit television, turnstiles, badge readers, magnetic locks, gates, sensors, etc; which are essential for meeting operational security and safety requirements. These systems require scheduled maintenance, unscheduled services, upgrades, installation, repair and other services to remain fully functional.
The Government intends to award a sole source contract to COLSA Solutions, an eligible Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for the required services. Market research conducted by the Government determined that COLSA Solutions possesses the requisite technical capability, personnel, experience, and understanding of the requirement necessary to successfully perform the effort within the required schedule and performance parameters. Market research indicated that procuring these services through the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) or through full and open competition would likely result in award to a large business concern rather than an SDVOSB. Such an approach would not support the statutory intent of the Veterans Benefits Act to provide maximum practicable contracting opportunities to SDVOSBs. Award to COLSA Solutions will preserve the participation of a qualified SDVOSB in performance of this requirement while ensuring continuity, efficiency, and mission accomplishment.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document will be posted for this requirement; however, all responsible SDVOSB sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to fulfill the requirement posted under Sources Sought Notice ID PANRSA-26-P-0000 033179, which shall be considered by the agency before the intended award date. Subcontracting opportunities may be available and should be sought with the prime, COLSA Solutions.
Submittals will be due at 1600 EST on Thursday, 11 June 2026, via the following PAE Fires email addresses:
- Simone Brightmon; simone.l.brightmon.civ@army.mil
- Sydney Horn; sydney.m.horn.civ@army.mil
- Tuyet Clark; tuyet.h.clark.ctr@army.mil
All email submissions shall have the subject line "PAE Fires ACS Response to Notice of Intent to Sole Source" Only UNCLASSIFIED submissions will be accepted.
Interested sources who submit data are responsible for appropriately marking information if it is proprietary in nature. The Government shall not reimburse interested sources for any information provided. No requests for capability briefings will be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
