- Description
- The United States Secret Service intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract under FAR 6.302-1 to Federal Express Corporation, 900 7 th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001. The award is for Critical Custom Express Courier Services to support the Asset Forfeiture Division (AFD) in order to comply with the legal requirements in the shipment of notices, correspondences, check payments and conference materials in a timely fashion. On occasion, AFD must facilitate the shipment of seized/forfeited weapons and ammunition for transfer to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for disposal and Federal Express Corporation is the only authorized courier by the Federal Government to ship weapons and ammunition. AFD also has a critical need to ship official credentials and oftentimes require guaranteed delivery on Saturday to meet mission deadlines. Because of legal timeframes for deliveries associated with asset forfeiture and court imposed deadlines, AFD is required to utilize an express courier which has a guaranteed Saturday delivery and a guaranteed delivery by 10:30 am. Online tracking and signature confirmation is also required. Federal Express is the only commercial carrier authorized to transport weapons and ammunition and the only commercial courier with a guaranteed Saturday delivery. Therefore, Federal Express is the only appropriate source for these services and this requirement. This notice is neither a request for quotations nor a solicitation of offers. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement on a full and open competitive basis is solely within the discretion of the Government. No formal solicitation package is available. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Only written responses sent via electronic mail will be accepted. The responses must be received within three (3) calendar days of the date of this notice. The Government will not be responsible for any costs in the preparation of responses to this announcement. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
