- Description
- Justification Document US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) with TransCore ITS, LLC, 8158 Adams Dr, Hummelstown, PA, 17036-8624, for the purchase of 15,000 specialty RFID Transponders (tags), part # 13-1713-811. The required 915 MHz units must be fully compatible with currently deployed equipment and systems at US Border Stations on the northern and southern borders, and readable/writeable at highway speeds using the deployed equipment/systems despite hostile weather and climate conditions encountered in the US Border areas. Custom programming of the units for CBP is required in addition to incorporation of special security features and a unique serial number. The units must be non-battery operated and suitable for attaching to vehicle windshields (i.e., semi-permanent adhesive-backed). Units must remain attached to the vehicle and operate as required despite hostile weather and climate conditions encountered in the US Border areas and the shock and vibration conditions associated with vehicle operation and use. TransCore is the only known source for 100% compatible and otherwise satisfactory units. A complete justification for the proposed procurement is attached to this notice. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334119, and the size standard is 1,000 employees.

CBP is making preparations to conduct a future competitive acquisition. Vendors that respond to this notice will be notified directly regarding the future competitive effort.
