- Description
- FA4659-15-Q-0057 Performance Work Statement FA4659-15-Q-0057 Wage Determination FA4659-15-Q-0057 RFQ Document In 2007 Grand Forks AFB, ND fielded a wide-area intrusion detection system (IBDSS) to provide intrusion detection, assessment and surveillance of the flight-line and surrounding areas. The system utilizes ground based intrusion detection radars together with pan-tilt-zoom cameras and thermal imagers to accomplish intrusion detection and tracking of personnel or ground-based vehicles. ARA completed the initial installation of the Grand Forks AFB IBDSS and has provided every system upgrade and modernization since inception. ARA's IBDSS is a monitoring platform that utilizes industrial servers using ARA proprietary equipment and software in order to provide 24/7 security with the integrated Intrusion Detection Systems and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) technology. The proprietary software backbone of the IBDSS is an ARA product and is not available to third party installers. The proposed upgrade projects will involve system changes at the software level to integrate additional commercial off the shelf sensors and functionality into the IBDSS and have them work in concert with existing sensors, thus providing the system operators a seamless, integrated wide-area detection, assessment, and surveillance capability. No other company is authorized nor certified to interface, modify, or support the currently installed software and integrated equipment. Award to any source other than ARA would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition in fulfilling the Air Force's requirements. The estimate, obtained from a firm familiar with subject requirement in this industry/sector, for a new IBDSS system including installation is for a total amount of approximately ___. The cost of the original install for this effort was ___ in 2007. The government has spent approximately ___ on current IBDSS equipment upgrades, with an additional ___ spent on IBDSS maintenance under the current IBDSS maintenance contract FA4659-11-M-U019. Accordingly, ARA is the only firm capable of providing the supplies and services described in the PWS without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.
