Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District (SWL), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Hi-Tech Communications, Inc. for security system repairs at the Clearwater Lake Project Office in Piedmont, Missouri. This action is a Presolicitation under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) for acquiring commercial services.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for non-personal services to repair the security alarm system at the Clearwater Project Office, necessitated by catastrophic lightning strike damage. Hi-Tech Communications, Inc. previously performed initial diagnostics and partial repairs under contract W9127S25PA012. They possess unique, site-specific, and non-transferable knowledge of the system's current configuration, including proprietary Geovision components.

Rationale for Sole Source
The Government determined that procuring these follow-on services from any source other than Hi-Tech would be inefficient and create unacceptable risk to facility security. This is due to the substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays that would result from bringing a new contractor up to speed, given Hi-Tech's existing knowledge and work on the proprietary system.
