WTI Remote Management Consoles

The Bureau of Fiscal Service on behalf of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Adminstration (TIGTA) is contracting to acquire Western Telematic Inc Secure Console Servers. This requisition will be non-competitive under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. Intended Source: Western Telematic Inc. DUNS: 041681362 The Agency has been using the WTI product for over ten years and following the replacement models. A competitive product was introduced but it was determined that the competitive product did not work in the environment, both in management and operational tasks. The Agency currently has about 25% of the office populations fulfilled with the WTI product. Changing the brand product would require new standardization and testing to ensure full functionality, while losing the 25% already installed product. The time needed and loss for this process would significantly impact mission critical functions, as this is a required equipment replacement. Purchasing the additional WTI product provides the necessary continuity of operation and compatibility with our current system. It is not practical or compatible to mix in a different company's products with what we currently have in place. This product is manufactured and sold only by Western Telematic, Inc. and is not offered elsewhere. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will NOT be accepted. Fiscal Service will consider written responses received no later than 1500 (3:00pm ET) May 6, 2015. Responses must be submitted electronically to [email protected], Attn: JMCCLEAD - SS-TGT-15-0046. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor is capable of providing the requested requirement. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, is more advantageous to the Government, and is received by the aforementioned deadline, Fiscal Service shall make award on a sole source basis to Western Telematic, Inc. No other information regarding this Special Notice will be provided at this time. This notice does not restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. All firms responding to this notice are advised that their response is not a request that will be considered for contract award. All interested parties will be required to respond to any resultant solicitation separately from their response to this notice.
