Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, 99th Contracting Squadron, intends to award a sole source purchase order to Advantor Systems for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Automated Entry Control Systems (AECS) equipment, maintenance, and services for the 59 TES Vault at Nellis Air Force Base, NV. This action is justified under FAR 6.103-1(b) due to Advantor Systems being the only responsible source. Interested parties must submit a capability statement by June 5, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This Special Notice announces the 99th Contracting Squadron's intent to procure proprietary IDS and AECS equipment, maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and associated services from Advantor Systems. These integrated systems are critical for physical security, force protection, and access control at the 59 TES Vault at Nellis AFB. The justification highlights that Advantor Systems is the sole provider, and only Advantor-certified technicians can install, configure, and service these systems. Procuring from other sources would lead to system incompatibility, voided warranties, increased security risks, and significant additional costs.
