NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox is preparing to sole source a contract to Monaco Enterprises Incorporated for the EM Cluster Technology Upgrade, leveraging its status as the exclusive manufacturer of the proprietary D-21 system hardware and software. This action is justified under FAR 12.102(a) and DFARS CD 2026-O0028, as alternative vendors would void the existing warranty and manufacturer support, thereby compromising system integrity and operational readiness. The contract will require the vendor to furnish all personnel, equipment, materials, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to complete the upgrade, with the work to be performed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The solicitation, identified as W9124D26QA176, falls under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems and is classified under Product Service Code 3590 as Miscellaneous Service and Trade Equipment, with competition restricted to non-full and open due to proprietary technology constraints. The presolicitation notice was posted on June 9, 2026, with responses due by June 19, 2026, and the contract will not be advertised or accessible through SAM.gov. The contracting office is located at 199 6th Avenue, Suite 250, Fort Knox, KY 40121-5720, with Renete Barnett-Morgan serving as the primary point of contact, reachable via email and phone listed in the contract data. The award will be made without competitive procedures due to the unique technical requirements tied exclusively to the D-21 system, ensuring continuity of maintenance and support under existing contractual agreements. All activities must align with the Department of Defense’s operational protocols and infrastructure standards for military installations.
