This is a sole-source procurement with no set-aside applicable. The justification cites ESPY Corporation's proprietary system as the only available source compatible with existing interagency systems. Market research indicated no other sources expressed interest.
Evaluation
This notice is a justification for a sole-source award, not a solicitation for proposals. Therefore, proposal submission instructions and evaluation criteria are not applicable to this synopsis. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined based on previous contract pricing (W912PX20C0003).
Additional Notes
The current ESPY equipment, operational since 2010, no longer meets security requirements, necessitating this replacement and sustainment effort.
