Specifications include, but are not limited to:. Justification for Sole Source/Sole Brand Acquisition The construction associated with this project will require coordination and connection to the Airport's Computer-controlled Security Access system, for which BCAD has an existing open-end contract in place with sole source vendor SGI Matrix LLC. When these systems are modified, expanded, monitored, tested, inspected, or require repairs and maintenance, such contracts must use the approved, sole source Vendor to test, program, certify and maintain warranties, etc., that are in place. Use of a different system will not integrate with the existing access control system and may cause issues with security and safety within the facility.
