- Description
- JOFOC This is a notice of the government's intent to award a Sole Source, fixed price contract to KBA-NOTASYS SA, Avenue DU Grey 55, Suite 300 Lausanne, 1000, CH, to provide the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) with KBA Portrait One plug-in software modules. The software will support the BEP Eastern Currency Facility (ECF) at 14th and C Streets, SW, Washington, DC, 20228; and 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. Part of the manufacturing process requires use of highly technical and proprietary systems. In order to make the required graphic software upgrades, BEP requires a contractor to provide software, maintenance, and support services. Performance of these services requires compatibility with the existing BEP IT Engraving Infrastructure. The established supporting infrastructure heavily incorporates the proprietary property of the manufacturer, KBA NotaSys SA. Therefore, in order to guarantee compatibility it is necessary to procure these services directly from KBA NotaSys SA. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, vendors may identify their capability to respond to this requirement by the close of this posting, to Chris McKay via email at Mary.C.McKay@is.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.
