- Description
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), Office of Management Services � Property Management Program, intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, to procure rugged mobile barcode scanning devices configured to operate with the HHS Property Management Information System (PMIS), also known as Sunflower Systems Mobile Release 5.6.3. The required scanners must be fully compatible with the existing Sunflower Mobile software environment currently deployed across HHS operating divisions and capable of directly interfacing with the agency�s property inventory management system used to track accountable personal property. Based on market research conducted by the Government, only authorized Sunflower-compatible devices configured with the required software integration can meet the agency�s operational requirements without substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays in fulfilling property accountability requirements. Acquisition of alternative scanning devices would require substantial reconfiguration of the Sunflower Mobile application environment, additional integration testing, and potential modification to the existing property management system. Such changes would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s statutory property accountability requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide equipment fully compatible with the existing Sunflower Mobile environment. Responses must be received within ten (10) calendar days of this notice.
