Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force has awarded Monaco Enterprises Inc. a Firm Fixed-Price contract valued at $87,989.35 for the upgrade of the Monaco D-21 fire alarm system at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. This award, made on June 18, 2026, was a sole-source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the system.
Scope of Work
The contract covers the upgrade of the Monaco D-21 fire alarm system in buildings 23020, 20001, and 20010. Key deliverables include:
- Repair-by-replacement of CPUs in each building.
- Configuration of new CPUs with the base's current D-21 database and D-21 V2 software upgrade.
- Transfer of existing software licenses to new CPUs.
- Installation of two replacement widescreen monitors and a UPS for short-term backup power.
- Verification of alarm and trouble transmission across LAMAS and network connectivity.
- Provision of formal D-21 operator training.
- Delivery of standard forms, system drawings, and documentation.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Purchase Order
- Value: $87,989.35
- Award Date: June 18, 2026
- Set-Aside: This was a sole-source acquisition to Monaco Enterprises Inc. (the Original Equipment Manufacturer) due to the copyrighted nature of the D-21 system's hardware and software, which only authorized Monaco technicians can service without voiding the warranty.
Justification
Market research confirmed that no other sources possess the required copyrighted software, diagnostic tools, and factory authorization. The sole-source award was deemed the most financially responsible approach, avoiding the significantly higher cost and disruption of a complete system replacement. The agency plans to continue market research for future requirements to identify potential new sources.
