- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Smiths Detection, 2202 Lakeside Blvd, Edgewood, MD, 21040-1102, for the purchase and installation of a cabinet x-ray inspection system platform to integrate with the existing infrastructure. Smiths Detection, as the manufacturer of the current system, provides the only system that will interface with the First View network that is currently installed. The current system operates on a proprietary network which precludes other vendors from upgrades, add-ons, service and or maintenance. Third party vendors are not authorized to perform such enhancements on these systems. This notice is neither a request for proposal nor a solicitation of offers. Based on the requirements of this solicitation, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Any intended parties may submit a description of their capabilities via email to Kim Trang by August 09, 2014 and identify their capabilities to provide a cabinet x-ray inspection system platform comparable in form, fit and function capable of integrating with the existing infrastructure as stated herein. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement on a full and open competitive basis upon receipt of responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No formal solicitation package is available. Only written responses sent via e-mail to Kim Trang at Kim.Trang@usss.dhs.gov will be accepted and must be received within five (5) calendar days of the date of this notice. The Government will not be responsible for any costs in the preparation of responses to this announcement. The Government anticipates an award date on or about August 20, 2014 to Smiths Detection. Late submissions will not be considered for this procurement, but may be considered for future procurements.
