What the notice says
14th Contracting Squadron located at Columbus AFB, MS 39710, intends to award a sole source award to Monaco Enterprises, Inc.(MEI), 14820 East Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley, Washington 99216. This requirement is for non-personal services to provide all personnel, labor, tools, materials, and equipment necessary to perform a technology refresh to Windows 11 for the existing Monaco Fire Alarm Reporting System at Columbus AFB. MEI is the original manufacturer and service provider for the Fire, Security, and Life Safety Equipment currently in use at the base. These systems are comprised of propri… (show all)
etary software developed and exclusively owned by MEI, and MEI does not authorize third parties to alter or add to its software or equipment. Only MEI technicians possess the installation expertise afforded by factory training, as well as the proprietary tools and specialized test equipment required to program the hardware, ensure seamless integration with the existing MEI D-21 system, verify proper operation, and make any necessary repairs. Additionally, for Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) invoicing, the BPN for both the Inspector and the Acceptor is F1N3BG; no separate inspector is necessary. The Government intends to acquire this service under the guidelines of FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and DFARS 206.302-1, as only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Columbus AFB requirements. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes; however, if any interested party can provide this service without compromising manufacturing, delivery, warranty, system integrity, or proprietary software licensing constraints, you may submit a statement of capabilities to be considered by the 14th Contracting Squadron. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is based upon responses to this notice and it is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. The capability statement, a price list, and any other information furnished must be sent via email only and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the Government to determine if the party can meet the requirements without violating MEI's exclusive software and hardware ownership. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Brownlee, John M at john.brownlee.2@us.af.mil and Jones, Nina M at nina.jones.2@us.af.mil by 2:30 AM Central Daylight Time on 12th August 2026.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $HON reported $33.0B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 16 past awards, $138K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
