99 -- SENSOR UNITS SOL OJP-96-202-M DUE 092696 POC Karen L. Stringfield, Purchasing Agent, 202-514-5731 or Raymond C. German, Contracting Officer, 202-307-0613. The Office of Justice Programs intends to award a sole source purchase order to Alliant TechSystems, 1911 North Fort Myer Drive, Arlington, Virginia, to provide twenty (20) SECURES sensor units. These units will be tested and evaluated for their capability of identifying, discriminating and reporting gunfire to a police 911 dispatcher within seconds. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is evaluating the benefits of using sensors to detect gunshots in selected high-crime areas, and the purchase of the twenty additional units will allow NIJ to evaluate an additional 20 square blocks of selected crime areas. This purchase order will be negotiated under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 252(c)(1) -- Only One Responsible Source with Unique Capabilities. This purchase order supplements an existing contract between Alliant TechSystems and another Government Agency for 70 prototype sensor units. As a result, these sensors must have the same performance characteristics as the initial 70 prototype sensor units and must be built to Alliant TechSystems specifications. This is not a request for quotations. Any interested firms may submit their technical capabilities. (0254)
