Quick Summary
The 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, intends to award a sole-source contract to Monaco Enterprises for the upgrade of the D-21 fire alarm system. This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for competitive proposals, as Monaco Enterprises is deemed the only qualified source. Interested parties must submit evidence demonstrating competitive advantage to the Government by May 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM CHST.
Scope of Work
This effort requires technology upgrades to the Fire Alarm Reporting Systems for the 36th Civil Engineer Squadron at BDOC Bldg. 23020, Alt BDOC Bldg. 20001, and Alarm Shop Bldg. 20010 on Andersen AFB. Key tasks include:
- Providing and installing repair-by-replace CPUs (S-1, S-2, C-1) at the specified buildings.
- Configuring new CPUs with the current D-21 database and D-21 V2 software upgrade.
- Transferring existing software licenses and installing replacement widescreen monitors and UPS units.
- Performing system verification and validation, including testing alarm/trouble transmission and network connectivity.
- Providing formal D-21 operator training and delivering system documentation.
- Site preparation, removal, and disposal of existing equipment.
- Installation and configuration of servers, workstations, wireless networks, data backup solutions, and firewalls/intrusion detection systems. All work must meet Federal, State, and local laws, standards, and regulations, with a performance threshold of zero defects.
Contract & Timeline

- Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source."
- Place of Performance: Andersen Air Force Base, Yigo, GU 96929.
- Response Deadline: May 26, 2026, 12:00 PM CHST.
- Published Date: May 11, 2026.
Eligibility & Justification
This acquisition is restricted to Monaco Enterprises Inc. due to their sole proprietorship of the copyrighted D-21 system, including specialized hardware and software. Market research confirmed no other sources possess the required components or factory authorization. Using non-Monaco components would void the system warranty and pose significant risks. A full system replacement is considered cost-prohibitive and disruptive. The agency will continue market research for future requirements. Note: While the SAM.gov metadata indicates a 'Total Small Business Set-Aside', this notice explicitly states an intent to award sole-source based on the justification for other than full and open competition.
Response Requirements
This is not a request for competitive proposals. Any response must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included.
