AI Contract Overview

The Army Contracting Command at the CECOM Contracting Center-Washington plans to extend the period of performance until December 30, 2009, for Contract DAAB15-02-D-1007 with Radian Inc. This contract extension, focused on the Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System (ICIDS-III), is being executed on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basis under the authority that recognizes Radian as the sole responsible source able to meet government needs. The ICIDS-III is a sophisticated automated intrusion detection system that integrates commercial hardware and software to monitor and secure designated installation areas using sensors, CCTV, and entry control devices, enabling early detection of unauthorized access attempts. The extension is necessary to provide adequate time for the award of a follow-on contract, since no other vendor currently offers a tested and approved system that meets the government’s requirements. Alternative sources would require extensive testing, approval, and production processes, potentially causing delays up to 13 months before installation could begin. Interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit written proposals of no more than five pages within 15 days of the notice; submissions must be emailed and will be considered at the discretion of the government. This approach reflects the critical importance of maintaining uninterrupted security capabilities while transitioning to a new contract arrangement.

Full Description

CECOM Contracting Center-Washington, Army Contracting Command intends to, on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basis, extend the period of performance until 30 Dec 2009 on Contract DAAB15-02-D-1007 with Radian Inc, for the acquisition of the Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System (ICIDS-III). This extension is required to allow for sufficient time for the follow-on to be awarded. This Other Than Full and Open Competition extension is based upon the statutory authority of 10 USC 23049(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source. The ICIDS-III is an automated Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that uses color graphic displays, keyboards, computers and printers to respond to interior/exterior sensors, and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and entry control devices that monitor designated areas and facilities on and around an installation. This equipment enables detection of any unauthorized attempts to enter an installation, and activates alarms to alert operators to take appropriate action. The ICIDS-III consists of integrated commercial hardware and software components. These components vary in quantity and type depending on the level of protection required, physical construction of an area or facility, size and environmental characteristics of the installation, quantity of existing IDSs, and the number and location of vulnerability areas that require physical security protection. Radian is the only responsible source that has an available, tested and approved IDS that meets the Governments requirements. Any other source would require comprehensive Government testing, inspection and approval of its IDS before installation of the IDS could commence. Production, First Article Test, fix and retest would take up to 13 months to complete, and system installation itself then takes between 10-18 months. No source other than Radian was identified that could meet the Governments requirements for installations of the ICIDSs prior to December 2009. Any responsible source that can provide supporting data to demonstrate they can successfully provide the required services may submit a proposal that shall be considered by the agency. Responses should be no longer than five pages and provided in a Microsoft Word compatible document. All responses are to be in writing and received by email within 15 days of this notice and no later than 11:00 AM EST. No telephonic requests will be honored. Responses shall be sent to the following email address: contact@example.gov Acknowledgement of receipt will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed extension based upon responses received to this notice shall be solely within the discretion of the Government.
