- Description
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to contract using other than full and open competition for the continuation of a maintenance agreement on software used to protect our nation's transportation system against the use of Manned Portable Air Defense Systems, or MANPADS. Examples of MANPADS include Mortars, Rifles and Rocket-Propelled Grenade Launchers. The Homeland Security Presidential Directives 5 and 7, the Aviation Transportation Security Act of 2001 (ATSA), and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act 0f 2004 require TSA to conduct MANPADS assessments at high risk airports throughout the U.S. Accordingly, the TSA intends to award a contract to: Cunning-Running Software, Incorporated 9732 Thorn Bush Dr Fairfax Station, VA 22039-2537 Over the course of the past eight (8) years, TSA has purchased from Cunning-Running all software and licensing needed in order to conduct its risk assessments. The current effort seeks solely to procure an extended, fixed-price, five (5) year maintenance agreement from the vendor in order to maintain and/or enhance as necessary the proprietary software package already owned by the TSA. This contract will address the requirements of the TSA Office of Security Assessments (OSA) which operates within the agency's Office of Law Enforcement (OLE). The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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. Interested vendors who may wish to seek subcontracting opportunities should contact the above named company directly.
