- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate a sole source acquisition for supplies and services that will provide software upgrades to software currently installed on Pitney Bowes Flowmaster inserters under Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12 Commercial Items Acquisitions and Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with Pitney Bowes Incorporated, 1 Elmcroft Road, Stamford, CT 06926-0700. Pitney Bowes will provide the following software and services: development, testing, implementation of enhancements to existing software in Pitney Bowes' Track and Trace system to provide automated correction of badly-scanned serial numbers in SSA's mail processing of Social Security Number (SSN) cards. The procurement will provide enhancements to the Pitney Bowes computer tracking system that is part of SSA's system for generating and distributing SSN cards, which includes the Pitney Bowes inserters. Pitney Bowes will also provide associated training and continued support. Pitney Bowes’ Track and Trace is a computer tracking system previously installed on SSA's Pitney Bowes Flowmaster Inserters at SSA's National Computer Center (NCC) located at SSA's Central Headquarters in Woodlawn MD. No other vendor able to provide the required software and services is known to be available or could be substituted without substantially increased costs to the Government. SSA will not issue a solicitation. SSA will not respond to requests for solicitation copies and will not pay for information received in response to this announcement. Responses must provide sufficient information for SSA to determine that a firm other than Pitney Bowes Inc. can provide the required software and services as described above. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement within five days of its publication, it will proceed as stated herein. See Numbered Note #22, substituting (per FAR 5.203(a) and 12.204(b)) a response time of five days for this acquisition of a commercial item for the forty-five day response time appearing in the note. Respondents should refer to Pitney Bowes Inserter Software Upgrades.
