- Description
- This is a notice of the Government's intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed- price contract to Electronic Systems Services Inc. (ESS),located at 368 County RD 4886, #4886 SPRINGTOWN, TX, 76082 to provide the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) with operations and maintenance, technical, and programming support services for security systems. The support will be provided at the BEP Western Currency Facility (WCF) at 9000 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, Texas. This acquisition is being conducted on a sole-source basis pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c), in accordance with FAR 6.302-1- "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) manufactures US Currency Bank Notes. As a result its facilities have extraordinarily high security requirements. Failure to maintain the highest levels of security could conceivably impact negatively national security, the supply of printed currency and the full faith and credit of the United States. BEP requires a contractor to provide operations and maintenance, technical and programming support services for its security systems. Performance of these services requires a highly specialized skillset including knowledge of the current highly customized and proprietary software and hardware. Due to the systems unique characteristics, with which ESS is thoroughly familiar by virtue of installing and maintaining the system for over 5 years, it is not possible to find another service provider who can meet BEP's system operation and maintenance requirements. It is therefore necessary to procure these services directly from ESS. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or offers. However, vendors may identify their capability to respond to this requirement by the close of this posting, to Victor Markland via email at victor.s.markland@irs.gov. Responses must demonstrate the interested party's capability to perform all of the services for this requirement. Information received from this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures will be used. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the government to pay preparation costs, submission costs, or any other costs incurred in response to this notice.
