THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE-SOURCE AWARD UTILIZING FAR 6.302-5(b)(6), “AUTHORIZED OR REQUIRED BY STATUTE” AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR QUOTES. The Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires intends to issue a sole source solicitation in accordance with FAR 6.302-5(b)(6), Authorized or Required by Statute, specifically under the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, codified at 15 U...
View moreThe Government intends to award a sole source contract to COLSA Solutions, an eligible Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for the required services. Market research conducted by the Government determined that COLSA Solutions possesses the requisite technical capability, personnel, experience, and understanding of the requirement necessary to successfully perform the effort within the required schedule and performance parameters. Market research indicated that procuring these services through the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) or through full and open competition would likely result in award to a large business concern rather than an SDVOSB. Such an approach would not support the statutory intent of the Veterans Benefits Act to provide maximum practicable contracting opportunities to SDVOSBs. Award to COLSA Solutions will preserve the participation of a qualified SDVOSB in performance of this requirement while ensuring continuity, efficiency, and mission accomplishment.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document will be posted for this requirement; however, all responsible SDVOSB sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to fulfill the requirement posted under Sources Sought Notice ID PANRSA-26-P-0000 033179, which shall be considered by the agency before the intended award date. Subcontracting opportunities may be available and should be sought with the prime, COLSA Solutions.
Submittals will be due at 1600 EST on Thursday, 11 June 2026, via the following PAE Fires email addresses:
- Simone Brightmon; [email protected]
- Sydney Horn; [email protected]
- Tuyet Clark; [email protected]
All email submissions shall have the subject line "PAE Fires ACS Response to Notice of Intent to Sole Source" Only UNCLASSIFIED submissions will be accepted.
Interested sources who submit data are responsible for appropriately marking information if it is proprietary in nature. The Government shall not reimburse interested sources for any information provided. No requests for capability briefings will be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
The Department of the Army, specifically the W6J1 RCCTO Redstone office, has issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract for the maintenance of the Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires Access Control System (ACS). This requirement encompasses comprehensive services for security infrastructure, including cameras, closed-circuit television, turnstiles, badge readers, magnetic locks, gates, and sensors. The contractor is responsible for scheduled maintenance, unscheduled services, upgrades, installations, and repairs to ensure operational security and safety requirements are met in Huntsville, Alabama.
The award is being facilitated under the authority of FAR 6.302-5(b)(6) and the Veterans Benefits Act of 2003, which permits sole-source awards to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The Army intends to award the contract to COLSA Solutions, an eligible SDVOSB, to maintain continuity following previous sole-source bridge contracts. Government market research indicates that COLSA Solutions possesses the necessary technical capability and experience to meet the performance parameters, whereas a competitive procurement via the Federal Supply Schedule would likely result in an award to a large business concern rather than an SDVOSB.
This acquisition is identified under solicitation number PANRSA-26-P-0000033179 and falls under NAICS code 561210 for Facilities Support Services and PSC R430 for Support- Professional: Physical Security and Badging. While this notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements from responsible SDVOSB sources submitted by the June 11, 2026, deadline. Submissions must be sent to the designated points of contact, including Sydney Horn, to demonstrate the ability to fulfill the requirement.
