R -- Synopsis of Intent to Single Source

The Transportation Security Administration intends to award a modification to contract number HSTS03-06-F-SEC040, with APPTIS, Inc. Personal Security?s new database, the Integrated Security Information Management System (ISIMS) plays a major part of the adjudication process. The ISIMS, Version II, is being developed under the competitively awarded HSTS03-06-F-SEC040 by Apptis and is scheduled to be released on March 31, 2008. However, there are two critical components required to be in place concurrent with ISIMS? release of which without, would cause a significant delay and set-back for the ISIMS project. The two components required are: A. Fingerprint Processing and Retention. B. ISIMS Training Course and Certification Module This is a one-time requirement to meet the ISIMS rollout of March 31, 2008. TSA does not anticipate changes to the system at this time and does not anticipate additional components past those that are being developed under this effort. The anticipated value of this modification is approximately $197,000.00.
