ECS Point of Sale System

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Acquisition, proposes to enter into a contract on a basis other than full and open competition. Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6, CBP intends to limit the number of sources by awarding a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to National Cash Register (NCR), 20370 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, Germantown, MD 20876, for operations and maintenance of existing proprietary products. The BPA will use Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders and be awarded under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule, Contract Number GS-35F-0082V. CBP intends to procure professional software services to maintain and seek opportunities for continual improvement of the existing Point of Sale (POS) software in use on CBP POS cash registers and within the Enterprise Management System (EMS), which is a web based Mperium software platform. The EMS connects all cash registers throughout the CBP enterprise to support CBP enterprise-wide register monitoring, Port-level receipt reconciliation across multiple cash registers at a single port location and facilitates the ultimate deposit process which allows the POS system to communicate collection receipts to the CBP System of Record for collections, known as ACS. It is noted that NCRs Mperium proprietary product is the core component of this software package.
