• Cybersecurity: Maintains a defensible cybersecurity posture and avoids delays and increased costs associated with obtaining new Authority to Operate (ATO) for non-conforming systems.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Avoids significant costs and delays associated with obtaining new ATOs for the Oceana BCN, and minimizes risks to system operational availability.

• Software Utilization: Maximizes the use of existing government-licensed software for configuration and programming.

• Operational Efficiency: Allows for a single central station for programming and monitoring, reducing installation, maintenance, repair, and energy costs.

• Reduced Burden: Avoids the need for staff to become proficient with multiple manufacturers' systems, reducing training costs and inventory management.

• Duplication of Cost: The use of other than specified brands is expected to result in substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition.

• A Sources Sought announcement was issued on April 22, 2022, to determine market interest. No responses were received, indicating a lack of substitute or equivalent products.

• The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
