- Description
- Brand Name Justification GPAT_Section 508-Attachment C Item Price Sheets-Attachment B SOW-Attachment A Solicitation J & A In accordance with FAR Part 13 and 6.302-1(a)(2), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a sole source contract under FAR 6.302-1 "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." FEMA has awarded this contract to Cassidian Communications, Temecula, CA, 92590. The contract is for lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software system. The existing software is proprietary and patented and only Cassidian possesses the corporate knowledge required to support the existing system. No other firm can provide the lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software on the Communicator NXT! System, since it is a proprietary system. Installing and uploading another product from another contractor will void the warranty with Cassidian Communications and possibly create interoperability issues. In addition, FEMA Directive 262-3 dated 11-03-11 designates the ENS system as the official FEMA solution for emergency notification. No other notification systems have been authorized for FEMA use. This system is provided by Cassidian via the Communicator NXT! See Statement of Work (attachment) for Section 508 and security requirements. The total value of this requirement is anticipated to be approximately ____ and the expected period of performance is to be from date of award through 120 (calendar) days. FEMA is aware of no other firm, other than Cassidian Communications that can provide the type of lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software described here and in the JOFOC. However, any firm that believes it is capable of providing equivalent services that meet the specifications stated and is an ENS that is authorized by FEMA shall e-mail a Statement of Specifications and associated product literature to Christine Todd at Christine.todd@dhs.gov.
