- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source contract with HOV Services/LASON Systems Incorporated, 11850 Hempstead Highway, Suite 270, Houston, TX 77092. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 518210, Data Processing, Hosting, and related services; the size standard is 750 employees. The FBI currently collects blood and buccal samples from Federal, Military and District of Columbia Convicted Offenders as outlined in the DNA Backlog Elimination Act of 2000, USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the Justice For All Act of 2004. Recent passage of the DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005 expands the scope of collection to include all Federal arrestees as well as non-US citizen detainees. In order to comply with this legislation and be able to process the exponential increase in samples being submitted to the FBI, the program requires a preventive maintenance agreement to ensure the successful operation and to maintain optimum performance of our optical character recognition software package known as TurboScan 2000 that is provided by HOV Services/LASON Systems, Inc. HOV Services/LASON Systems, Inc. is the only provider of this service as they are the sole provider of the TurboScan 2000 software package. HOV Services/LASON Systems, Inc. is the only company that will be able to modify the configurations as they are the only company that provides the TurboScan software. Based on market research conducted and contacts made with knowledgeable individuals within the government and related industry, it has been determined the FBI's requirement can only be provided by HOV Services/LASON Systems, Inc., as no other vendor is capable of providing the TurboScan 2000 software that is needed for direct support of the FBI's mission. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by 08:00 am, EST, by Oct 22, 2012, by email to the attention of Jerry Varnell, Contract Specialist, at Jerry.Varnell@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The awardee shall be registered in the Central Contractor's Database (CCR) and also the Online Representations and Certification (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov.
