Intent to Award - Monaco Enterprise, Inc.

Eglin Air Force Base, FL intends to award a Single Source, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract as authorized by Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(b) to Monaco Enterprises, Inc, 14820 East Sprague Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99216 The Monaco Enterprise system serves as the primary infrastructure for the installation's Fire Alarm Reporting and Mass Notification System (MNS). Continuous, reliable operation of the Monaco system is required to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Department of War (DoW) life safety regulations, ensuring rapid response to fire, medical, and security emergencies. Furthermore, DoW mandates that all Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) systems run on supported operating systems to comply with current Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs). With previous Windows OS versions reaching EOL, upgrading to Windows 11 is a non-negotiable requirement to maintain a secure cybersecurity posture and retain the system's Authority to Operate (ATO). Failure to secure and execute this technology update will result in severe, cascading mission impacts across multiple domains. For Cybersecurity & Compliance, this means revocation of the system's Authority to Operate (ATO); the Authorizing Official (AO) will be forced to quarantine the Monaco system from the DoW Information Network to prevent lateral vulnerabilities. Market Research Assessment determined that Monaco Enterprises, Inc. is the best acquisition path and will be of the largest benefit to the Government. Pursuant to RFO 12.102(b) the Contracting Officer has determined that circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
