- The U.S. Census Bureau intends to solicit and negotiate a contract on a sole source basis with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA, DUNS 048855423) for the purchase of fare media (SmartBenefits) in various denominations. The proposed action provides access to WMATA's automated Smart Benefits System to be used in support of the Mass Transportation Transit Subsidy Program and the Smart Benefits Program currently used by the Census Bureau for its employees subsidies. SmartBenefits are the only form of fare media accepted by the District of Columbia METRO system and all other approved transportation providers in the Washington, D.C. area. Sole source determination is based on FAR 6.302-1 with WMATA being the sole provider. Fare media shall be purchased on a monthly basis for a period of one year. Four one-year option periods shall be included in the purchase order. Fare media is being purchased in compliance with Executive Order 13150 providing direct employer benefit to employees utilizing approved mass transit. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by May 14, 2012 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
