Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has posted a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Life Safety System Integration Services. This document supports the FBI's intent to award a sole-source, follow-on contract to M.C. Dean, Inc. for fire alarm and mass notification system integration, extending the existing Honeywell Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) Horizon environment.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC, posted in accordance with FAR 6.305, justifies the non-competitive award to M.C. Dean, Inc. The services involve integrating new FBI facilities' fire alarm and mass notification systems into the current CLSS Horizon Cloud-Connected Horizon (CCH) and LAN-Connected Horizon (LCH) workstations. Key tasks include configuring site-specific databases, point mapping, alarm routing, user roles, graphics, floor plans, and providing programming, testing, validation, and commissioning support within the existing production environment.
Contract Details
- Type: Sole-Source, Follow-on Contract (Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition)
- Estimated Value: $167,025.00
- Incumbent: M.C. Dean, Inc.
- Justification Basis: FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) - Only One Responsible Source, citing substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays if awarded to another source. M.C. Dean, Inc. possesses unique knowledge of the existing system, crucial for maintaining life-safety operations without disruption.
- Published Date: June 11, 2026
Eligibility & Response
This is not a solicitation for proposals. The document is for public review of the FBI's justification for a sole-source award. No set-aside applies as it is for other than full and open competition. The Government will assess future opportunities to promote competition for similar requirements.
