- Description
- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED.� The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order with Morse Watchmans (Oxford, CT) for the purpose of procuring Intrusion Detection Systems end of life requirements, on behalf of the Redstone Enterprise Services Unit, Finance and Facilities Division (FFD). The FBI at Redstone has over 20 buildings on Redstone Arsenal and over 2,000 doors. The Keywatcher hardware and software create the current platform for key control at Redstone Arsenal.� The KeyWatcher boxes, compenents and proprietary TrueTouch software operate on a standalone network, controlling, monitoring and providing key control to FBI employees and buildings on the FBI Redstone campus. The trademark software and proprietary tamperproof smartkeys provide real-time accountability.� The campus continues to open new buildings and the requirement for key control extends to these buildings. This new requirement must seamlessly integrate with the existing platform, with no additional training, infrastructure requirements, or personnel.� The FBI�s key control systems have a specific architecture design using specific hardware. When combined, the requested hardware creates a unique system configuration that has been extensively tested and approved by security for use on the FBI systems located throughout the FBI.� The Morse Watchmans equipment is essential to the Government�s requirements for key control on the Redstone campus for the aforementioned reasons. Market research for the required Intrusion Detection Systems equipment determined that Morse Watchmans is the sole designer, manufacturer, and distributor of the Key Watcher Key Management Systems in the state of Alabama. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration�s beta.SAM.gov website (www.beta.SAM.gov).� Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the beta.SAM.gov site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition.� The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 332510 � Hardware Manufacturing; the size standard is 750 employees. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and submit a capabilities statement in response to this requirement by contacting Christina Wheeless via email only at CMWheeless@fbi.gov, no later than 1:00pm (Central) on Wednesday, July 27, 2022.� Responses sent via other means (i.e. via telephone call, facsimile transmission, etc.) will not be considered.� Information received will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is at the discretion of the Government. Vendors must be registered in SAM, effective July 29, 2012, to receive government contracts.� The FBI utilizes a financial system that has a direct interface with the SAM.� Please ensure that your company�s SAM information is updated and accurate.� This includes: TIN, EFT, DUNs, addresses, and contact information.� The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be what the FBI uses to process payment to your organization.
