Sole Source - Advantor Access Control System

The Department of the Defense, through contracting activity 628 CONS/PKA at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, is awarding a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 6 to Advantor Systems for the acquisition and installation of an Access Control System at Building 162 in support of the 437th Special Operations Squadron. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the exclusive capability of Advantor Systems to meet mandatory requirements, specifically compliance with Intelligence Community Directive ICD 705 and seamless integration with existing physical security infrastructure. Only Advantor’s proprietary system fulfills the technical, security, and credentialing standards necessary for operation within the Intelligence Community, leaving no other responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement. The system will include hardware components such as card readers, a Level II CAC enrollment reader, and a laser report printer, and must support administrative functions for access configuration and audit reporting. Performance will occur exclusively at Charleston AFB, South Carolina, with delivery and installation targeted to begin following the certification of the sole-source justification on May 13, 2026. The contract leverages pricing from Advantor’s GSA Schedule GS-07F-039DA, though the total estimated value is not specified. The Contracting Officer is Nicole Alvarez, with Charles Thurman of the 437th SOS/AP serving as the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative responsible for technical acceptance, while no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named. The government retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance, which will be based on compliance with ICD 705, Physical Security Information System standards, and the Statement of Work. No formal evaluation factors, weights, or trade-off criteria apply due to the absence of competition. Special requirements include ICD 705 compliance, vendor credentialing within the Intelligence Community, and reliance on Advantor’s onsite technical personnel. No contract options, payment office details, invoicing system specifications, packaging standards, or offeror representations and certifications were provided in the documentation, and the full Statement of Work remains unreferenced in the available materials.
