- Description
- NUMBER: PR: 0040535694 POSTED DATE: 07/23/2021 SUBJECT: TOA Annual Maintenance Contract This announcement constitutes the only notice. This is not a request for quotes. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than July 27, 2021, by sending an e-mail to mschumacher@blm.gov; however, any technical data received will be for the sole purpose of market research for future requirements. Under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), BLM-AK/Alaska Fire Service intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price order to: COMPANY: Global Locations Systems INC., DBA: TOA Systems FOR : $10,000 ON: 07/27/21 NAICS: 334513 Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process AUTHORITY: 8.405-6(a)(2) Limited Sources Justification and Approval 13.106(b) Soliciting from a single source FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and compelling urgency. Determinations not to compete this proposed procurement were made because: In 2012, Alaska Fire Service converted to TOA Systems Inc. products for its Alaska Lightning Detection System. These products, comprised of a 12 DSP-DF200 Lightning Sensors, 5 LPS-200 Lighting Sensors, 1 Central Analyzer Processor, 1 Data Storage and Retrieval Suite, and 1 System Solution Display Software, require periodic hardware, software, and firmware upgrades as well as technical support to maintain operational readiness. Lightning detection is a specialized field with few vendors in the industry. Each vendor implements its own proprietary solution. As a result, TOA Systems Inc. is the only vendor that can work on the current ADLS at AFS. To consider another vendor for annual maintenance, AFS would be required to replace all existing calculation software, sensors in the field, Central Analyzer Processor, and modifications to the existing software interface that makes the current lightning solutions available to the AFS mapping website. The cost of that effort would significantly exceed the annual software maintenance we seek at this time from the vendor.
