- Description
- Notice of Intent: The USDA, ARS, SEA intends to award a sole source procurement to Sonitrol of New Orleans, 2217 Ridgelake Dr, Metairie, LA 70001, as they are the sole source for the installation of previously purchased Lenel access equipment to bring the Southern Regional Research Center's card access system into compliance and integration with the USDA's ePacs system. This equipment as well as replacement card readers must be installed and integrated by a Lenel VAR. Lenel access equipment is the only manufacturer's equipment that can integrate with the USDA's ePacs system. They provide maintenance and monitoring for the Card Access System (CAS), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and CCTV System, as well as monitoring for the Fire Alarm System. All of these systems are integrated and dependent on each other to accomplish full security and life safety coverage. The CAS integrates with the IDS and the CCTV system to provide complete coverage of the Center. Because the Center is open 24 hours a day the CCTV in conjunction with the Card Access System provides the coverage needed to quickly investigate improperly opened or forced doors. The Fire Alarm system also integrates with the CAS allowing for the release of all doors and gates should a fire be detected and the system go into alarm. It is important that the new access system integrate with the existing CCTV, the IDS and Fire Alarm System without a lapse in coverage. USDA ePacs requires that the installer of the required Lenel system be a Lenal VAR. Sonitrol of New Orleans has partnered with the only local VAR to meet this requirement. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price Purchase Order on or about 09/12/2016 using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider all responses received by 4:00PM Central Time, 09/09/2016. Information received will be considered solely for determining wheather to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquires will only be accepted via mail to the Contracting Officer at the following address: Contracting Office Address: USDA-ARS-SEA 141 Experiment Station Road Stoneville, MS 38776-0225
