The new security cameras will be integrated into the Government's existing security cameras infrastructure/system; therefore, the Government is not procuring a new security camera infrastructure/system. Siemens is the only company (Sole Source) that has the unique knowledge and required understanding of the existing security camera infrastructure & system, including site - specific requirements (terrain, network infrastructure, system capability, artic weather capability, etc.), interoperability of the various brands of cameras with the main controller, unique programing needs and system refinement. Also, the identified sole source's detailed and complete understanding of the security camera infrastructure allows it to provide quality, reliable, and speedy installation and configuration. Using any other source would require major effort/cost to the Government to teach the basics of the security camera system, as follows, to another source: system layout, site layout, network infrastructure, software, hardware, and programming. Therefore, using another source would adversely impact the Government at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/ Office of Satellite and Product Operations NOAA Satellite Operations, FCDAS Facility in Fairbanks, AK 99712.
