Evaluation
The Contracting Officer is responsible for evaluating and determining the anticipated contract cost/price to be fair and reasonable. The sole source determination is based on Advantor Systems being the only approved vendor due to ICD 705 and Physical Security Information System compliance testing, and compatibility with existing Advantor Alarm systems at the 437th Air Wing.
Additional Notes
Advantor Systems is a GSA Schedule holder (GS-07F-039DA), which may allow for GSA pricing for applicable labor rates and equipment. The Government plans to monitor the market for emerging technologies and alternative vendors compliant with ICD 705 standards to overcome future competition barriers, as Advantor Systems is currently the only provider meeting all intelligence and operational requirements.
