This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the procurement, upgrade, and installation of Security and Entry System components, specifically Honeywell-Vindicator Integrated Access Control components.

The US Air Force IDS equipment is restricted to the CUI Non-Nuclear CMD Equipment List and requires compatibility with Honeywell-Vindicator Technologies proprietary technology. The contractor must also be a certified installer of Honeywell-Vindicator products.
