- Description
- This notice is posted in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Mt. Weather Emergency Operations Center (MWEOC), Continuity Acquisition Section, Mt. Weather, VA intends to award a sole source purchase order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Annams Systems Corporation (dba Sunflower Systems), San Ramon, CA for the purchase of 8 EA Sunflower Configured Intermec CN70: Barcode Scanner (including Sunflower Software Installation and Testing) and 8 EA Intermec Hardware Maintenance Service Contract (3-Year). FEMA's Headquarters and Program and Regional Offices require barcode scanner to fulfill their commitment for accountability of all their assets. It has been determined that Annams Systems Corporation is the only source who can satisfy the Government's requirement (see justification below). These products are considered commercial in nature IAW FAR Part 12.1. No Request for Quotation will be provided. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing via the e-mail link below by the response date above. Any response must show clear and convincing evidence that the responder can meet the requirements listed herein and competition would be advantageous to the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Sunflower MobileTrak 5.0 Software is the acquired Property Management System of Record for DHS and all of its components. The Mobile Trak 5.0 Software is essential to update the property database. DHS procured Sunflower Asset Management Systems (SAMS) in 2003 and FEMA now utilizes Sunflower Systems for all asset management inventories as of 2014. The Intermec CN70 barcode scanner is FEMA's scanner of choice as it is compatible with SAMS. Sunflower pre-configures the required hardware that is installed with the licensed MobileTrak 5.0 Software, which is the only way that Sunflower can guarantee they can continue to support the software loaded onto the scanner and also guarantee that it will function properly. There are several different mobile computers with scanning ability on the market and even within the Intermec CN70 family, there are many different versions of the same model. It would be impossible for Sunflower to ensure their software functioned fully with every hardware option in the market...even with every possible CN70 on the market. In addition, hardware manufacturers are constantly making changes to existing models or introducing new models. The cost of Installation and Testing of the Sunflower Software is included in the price of the Sunflower Configured CN70. The Government could purchase the Intermec 70 and send to Sunflower for configuration and installation of the software, however, Sunflower cannot guarantee successful configuration.
