- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with CREOAL CONSULTING, LLC, of 2 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 700, Bethesda, Maryland, 20814, under the authority set forth in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) "Soliciting from a Single Source". SSA competitively awarded contract SS00-13-60034 on September 30, 2014 for software, support services and hardware to implement the Social Security Electronic Remittance System (SERS) Streamlined Remittance Process and Automated System Solution to Collect Fees from SSA's field offices for non-programmatic services. The award included the hardware and software to accept payments from members of the public who presented branded plastic cards; SSA will be able to do this using special encrypted "Card Readers" (Ingenico iPP320 Card Reader), which allow for immediate authorization, processing, and approval by interfacing with the U.S. Department of Treasury. As part of the effort, the contractor CREOAL is providing the card readers to approximately 1200 SSA field offices. SSA now needs to modify the award to add the capability to secure the public-facing card readers to the counter-tops in the field offices in a manner that does not interfere with the card readers functionality. SSA requires Original Equipment Manufacturer hardware. These components (base plate and stand) are custom-made to work specifically with the card readers SSA is acquiring for SERS. Generic or other aftermarket hardware may alter or damage the card readers. No other vendor has the ability to fulfill the requirement. This notice is for informational purposes only. This is not a solicitation or request for proposals. The Government will not award a contract from this announcement, or pay for information received. A solicitation is NOT available. Therefore, written and/or verbal requests for copies of a solicitation related to this announcement will not be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. NO EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, OR FAXES WILL BE ACCEPTED OR RETURNED.
