D -- COMPUTER INTEGRATED SYSTEMS DESIGN SOL KIM-A-96-014. Contact Jon D Faye, (202) 708-6099, Contracting Officer. The Office of Information Security intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, with Computer Systems International (CSI), Inc, of Arlington, Virginia, to develop and provide Information Technology (IT) systems. These systems are being developed for the United States European Command (USEUCOM), Partnership for Peace Information Management System (PIMS) requirements. PIMS supports a Presidential initiative (Partnership for Peace (PfP)) to provide US derived composite interactive database capability for specific international treaty agreements involving North Atlantic Treaty Organization and former Soviet Block nations. A resultant IDIQ contract is contemplated with a base year and two option years. IT systems will be developed, deployed and installed (including any training required) by CSI into specialized Wide Area Networks (WAN) systems that are multi-national in scope. CSI provides these LAN/WAN systems through a complex and ever-changing set of customer-driven strategies utilizing: satellite communications, earth station out- and in-bound channelization bandwidth and Local Area Networks (LAN) concepts to workstation level LAN user systems. The systems typically possess high-end graphical imagery manipulation, database, sophisticated store and forward, and messaging capabilities across the entire WAN. These systems must dovetail and integrate data into other user systems, have security filters and possess unique firewall capabilities. Systems have two way unique mobile messaging capabilities within the WAN and LANs. The Government has rights to use licenses for custom software used for these systems. The entire systematized approach is provided on a turn-key basis. The systems are developmental in nature. The contractor possesses unique knowledge, capabilities and experience as the sole source provider for these types of systems and can deliver within the required time frames. GSA, in its role of provider/facilitator to the USECUOM and PIMS operations, cannot guarantee Presidential peace initiatives related to the PfP through the PIMS initiative can be met without these services from CSI. This procurement action is being conducted under authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1) ``Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.'' Interested parties who believe they can continue and dovetail with current ongoing PIMS activities world wide for this specific multi-national initiative can respond in writing to the Contracting Officer within 45 days of publication of this notice. All responsible sources may submit their capabilities to perform the requirement for consideration by the agency. Detailed specifications of the customized software provided by CSI is not available. The Government shall be the sole determiner of its minimum needs. A determination by the government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. See Numbered Note 22. (204)
