Bldg. 20129 — Presolicitation Notice of Intent to Sole Source for DSX Badge Readers
The Air Force intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Industrial & Commercial Security Systems, Inc. for installation of DSX access control equipment. The work includes furnishing labor, materials, professional programming, and electrical certifications for 26 new badge readers, control cabinets, power supplies, and high-durability locking hardware on secure interior vault doors. Performance will be at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The sole-source justification cites the proprietary DSX system and ICSS as the authorized installer with exclusive credentials, noting that third-party integration would void warranties, cause security vulnerabilities, and result in substantial duplication of costs. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration.
