Sole Source Award for Repair of Big Voice Notification System

The Washington Headquarters Service, Acquisition and Procurement Office proposes to award to Washington Professional Systems, 11242 Grandview Ave, Wheaton, MD 20902-4632 on a sole source basis, the purchase and installation of an IED 0591R-S5 server and upgraded software for the current Pentagon “Big Voice” notification system. This is a repair/upgrade to an existing system that has proprietary software and it can only be upgraded by the software manufacturer. Competing this requirement and awarding to any other manufacturer would result in substantial risk of safety to government personnel and increased cost to the government. This procurement shall be under other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements). This notice is not a request for proposals/quotes and is posted with the intent to satisfy the requirement of FAR 5 for publicizing contract opportunities. No official solicitation will be issued; firms wishing to challenge the sole source decision must issue a letter of interest to the Contracting Officer (Mr. Michael Murtha) within 10 calendar days of this notice. The Point of Contact (POC) for this action is [email protected] or (703) 696-3756.
