The 2d Contracting Squadron, Barksdale AFB, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) services for Building 5454, 8 AF, AFGSC Headquarters (HQ) in Fort Johnson, LA.

Scope of Work
This requirement is for the provision of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) for Building 5454, 8 AF, AFGSC HQ. The justification for sole sourcing to Prometheus Security Group Global (PSG) is based on:
