Contract & Timeline
- Type: Presolicitation (Intent to Sole-Source)
- Authority: FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source)
- Anticipated Awardee: Prometheus Security Group Global
- Set-Aside: None (Sole-Source)
- Response Due: June 12, 2026, 10:00 AM PDT

Sole-Source Justification
This acquisition is justified as a sole-source award because Prometheus Security Group Global is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the Government's stringent technical and operational requirements. The VICADS system is proprietary, requiring access to specific software and hardware configurations available only through the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or authorized distributors. Compatibility with the MCDean VICADS IBDSS-Next system architecture and the new VICADS 4.3.5 head-end servers cannot be guaranteed by other sources. Comprehensive market research, including an RFI to 112 vendors via GSA eBuy, yielded zero responses, further confirming Prometheus Security Group Global as the sole authorized provider via a GSA schedule.
