Solicitation: W91QF6-14-T-0054 Special Notice NAICS code for this procurement is 511210 and the small business size standard is $38.5M. FSC code for this procurement is 7030 Update/Maintain Computer Aided Dispatch software (CAD) for Police and Fire Department Closing Date: 28 September 2014, 3:00 p.m. (EST) The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Application Data Systems, Inc. (ADSi), 1930 First Commercial Drive N, Southaven, MS 38671-2010. The procurement will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1). This requirement is for a renewal of CAD software including maintenance and updates. The software aids the Police and Fire department in tracking assets in the field and prioritizing calls as they come into the dispatch center. This is for the existing software updates and for 24 hours per day/7 days per week tech support for one (1) Server, three (3) 911 operator workstations and twenty-six (26) Mobile Data terminals used by police officers and fire fighters in the field for the safety, security, and welfare of the Military and Civilian population in Fort George G. Meade. This CAD software package includes CADForce 4G, MDTForce & MapForce Software, technical support, and services, which are currently used by DES - Fort Meade. All ADSI software is a sole source product. ADSI is the sole manufacturer of ADSI software, and there are no distributors or other entities approved to market or sell ADSI products. The period of performance is one (1) base year plus two (2) option years. This is to keep the software fully operational for the safety, security and welfare of the installation. This action is for a Firm-Fixed Price follow-on requirement to contract W91QF6-10-P-0035. The current system was installed via contract W91QF6-08-F-0017 in 2008. ADSi has independently manufactured and developed the system as sole manufactures with no authorized distributers as of this date. A new award to any other source would result in substantial cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirement. Therefore, a follow-on contract would be in the best interest of the Government. As a result, there are no other sources reasonably available that could satisfy the needs of the Government because of proprietary ownership of requested service at this time. Therefore, ADSi is the only source that can provide the required items through GSA at this time. The NAICS code for this procurement is 511210 and the small business size standard is $38.5M. This sole source requirement will be procured under Other Than Full and Open Competition procedures and awarded on an unrestricted basis. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE OFFERS and a solicitation will not be issued; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer not later than 28 September 2014, 3:00 P.M. EST. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements listed. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Firehouse Innovation Corp. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation.
