AI Contract Overview

The United States Air Force Academy is conducting market research through a sources sought synopsis to identify qualified Small Businesses capable of performing a comprehensive upgrade to its Fire Alarm Reporting System. The goal is to transition from a legacy hybrid system combining Honeywell Notifier equipment and Radionics dialer-based panels to a fully integrated, modern IP-based network using factory-authorized Honeywell Notifier Engineered Systems Distributors. The work requires replacing incompatible control panels, upgrading firmware and fiber-optic network cards, installing intelligent gateways for ONYXWORKS™ systems, deploying a wireless radio network across ten buildings lacking fiber connectivity, and fully migrating and decommissioning the Radionics alarm points—all while ensuring uninterrupted life-safety monitoring throughout a 12-month performance period. Only respondents with proven factory authorization to access and program Honeywell Notifier systems, documented experience migrating similar legacy alarm systems, and demonstrated capability deploying mission-critical wireless networks for life-safety applications will be considered. The Government requires a concise Capability Statement not exceeding five pages, submitted electronically by May 12, 2026, with strict formatting and content requirements including company details, UEI and CAGE codes, socioeconomic status under NAICS code 238210, proof of Honeywell ESD authorization, specific examples of past performance on comparable projects, and detailed experience with Radionics migration and wireless integration. No formal solicitation has been issued; this is purely a market research effort to assess industry capability and determine the optimal acquisition strategy. Evaluation will prioritize technical qualifications and mission-critical performance thresholds over cost, with mandatory pass/fail criteria including zero loss of life-safety monitoring during cutover, 99.9% wireless network uptime, and 100% decommissioning of legacy Radionics alarm points. The place of performance is the USAFA campus in Colorado, and no pricing or contract value information is available at this stage. The contracting officer for this effort is Danon Davidson, and submissions must be sent via email with the exact required subject line format.

This is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the 10th Contracting Squadron (10 CONS/PKA), United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), CO. This is NOT a solicitation.


The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research to identify potential sources, particularly Small Businesses, that possess the capabilities and experience to perform a comprehensive network upgrade on the USAFA Fire Alarm Reporting System (FARS).


The Government anticipates a requirement for Brand Name Honeywell Notifier equipment and integration services due to the proprietary nature of the existing campus-wide infrastructure. The Government is issuing this notice to identify authorized Honeywell Notifier Engineered Systems Distributors (ESDs), specifically Small Businesses, capable of competing for and performing this work. The information received will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy.


2. Background & Scope of Work


The existing USAFA FARS is a proprietary, campus-wide network composed of a Brand Name Honeywell Notifier network (including ONYXWORKS™ workstations) and a legacy Radionics system that reports over dialers.


The contractor shall be required to provide all personnel, equipment, supervision, and materials necessary to perform a comprehensive network upgrade in accordance with the Government's Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Period of Performance is anticipated to be 12 months from contract award. The essential tasks include, but are not limited to:


  • Task 1 - Legacy Panel Upgrades: Replace existing fire alarm control panels that are incompatible with the new high-speed network.
  • Task 2 - Network Card & Firmware Upgrades: Perform system-wide firmware updates and install high-speed fiber-optic network communications modules on existing panels.
  • Task 3 - Gateway Installation: Install, program, and test new intelligent gateway interfaces for the ONYXWORKS™ system.
  • Task 4 - Wireless Network Integration: Provide and install a complete wireless network solution (e.g., Cambium Networks or equal) for approximately 10 designated buildings that lack fiber optic connectivity.
  • Task 5 - Legacy Radionics System Integration: Analyze, integrate, or replace the legacy Radionics alarm system to ensure all its alarm points are successfully migrated to the upgraded FARS network, eliminating the need for dialer-based reporting.
  • Task 6 - Testing and Network Cutover: Conduct comprehensive system testing and manage a phased network cutover, ensuring zero loss of life-safety monitoring during the transition.

3. Capability Statement Requirements


Interested parties shall submit a Capability Statement demonstrating their ability to perform the services described. Responses should be concise and directly address the following items:


A. Business Information:


  1. Company Name, Address, UEI Number, and CAGE Code.
  2. Point of Contact (Name, Title, Phone, Email).
  3. Business Size and all applicable Socio-Economic Statuses (e.g., Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) under the specified NAICS code 238210.

B. Technical Capability & Proprietary System Experience:


  1. Proprietary Access: The Government's PWS requires the contractor to be a factory-authorized Honeywell Notifier Engineered Systems Distributor (ESD). Please explicitly state whether your firm holds this status and possesses the requisite training, software, and administrative rights to program and modify ONYXWORKS™ systems.
  2. Legacy System Experience: Describe your company's experience migrating or integrating legacy Radionics systems (or similar alarm systems reporting via dialers) into modern IP-based networks.
  3. Wireless Integration Experience: Describe your company's experience designing and installing campus-style wireless radio networks (e.g., Cambium, Ubiquiti) for life-safety or other critical systems.

C. Past Performance:


  1. Provide at least one (1) and no more than three (3) examples of recent (within the last 5 years) and relevant contracts where your firm performed work of a similar scope and complexity (i.e., campus-wide, proprietary fire alarm network upgrades).
  2. For each example, include the contract number, agency/customer name, period of performance, total contract value, and a brief description of the work performed that is relevant to this requirement.

4. Submission Instructions


  • Responses must be submitted electronically via email to: Contracting Officer, Danon Davidson at danon.davidson@us.af.mil.
  • The subject line of the email must read: "Response to Sources Sought: USAFA FARS Network Upgrade - [Your Company Name]".
  • All responses must be received no later than May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time.
