- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPLY BRAND NAME DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS: Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(c), it is the Government's intent to apply brand name descriptions and specifications to future Request for Proposals (RFPs) and existing contracts awarded in support of the Department of Homeland Security Memorandum dated 14 January 2020, directing the Department of Defense (specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) to assist in securing the southern border. Brand name descriptions and specifications for the use of Sintela Onyx Interrogators will be included in existing and future contracts as they are the only interrogators that meet the required specifications and provide up to 62 miles of detection per interrogator, and support an open framework to allow for the inclusion of Linear Ground Detection System (LGDS) features in their operations. �THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION.� This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal.� No solicitation document is available, and telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored.� Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.� All responses received within 15 days will be considered.� If no affirmative written response is received, the brand name or equal application will be made�without further notice.� A determination by the Government to include these brand name specifications is based on the Sintela Onyx Interrogator being the only unit�able to adequately meet the Government�s requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Per Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Integrated Fixed Tower (IFT) ORD 48, CPB is required to utilize a system that accepts and displays data, video, and imagery on the Common Operating Platform (COP) from other CBP sensors that use open standards for their IFT. This is based off the rationale that CBP employs other video systems and cameras such as Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS), Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) imaging devices, and Skywatch tower cameras. The ability to view video from these sources (and any new systems that are acquired and can provide date in the appropriate formats) at the IFT COP display enhances operational efficiency and reduces the equipment and logistics footprint.� The Sintela Interrogator is the only model that offers up to 62 miles of coverage per unit, meets CBP network-readiness (security requirement), and Application Programming Interface/ Software Development Kit (API/SDK) level integration with CBP COP, which will allow for the integration of LGDS capabilities into the unit. A determination by the Government to utilize brand name descriptions and specifications for the Sintela Onyx Interrogator is based upon the fact that the Sintela Onyx Interrogator the only unit that meets the requirements listed above as dictated under FAR 6.302-1(c). �� Detailed capabilities of interested vendors must be submitted to the following email address no later than 2:00 PM (MST) 10 August 2020, francesca.m.luna@usace.army.mil.
