Intent to Sole Source - 59 TES Vault IDS

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The 99th Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole source purchase order for the 59 TES Vault IDS Advantor. This decision is based on the authority of RFO 6.103-1(b), which allows for sole source procurement when supplies or services are available from only one responsible source and no other type will satisfy the agency's requirements. Work Details The requirement is specifically for the purchase of 59 TES Vault IDS Advantor units. No additional specifications or quantities beyond this have been provided in the solicitation. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Bidder Requirements Sources interested in responding must submit a capability statement that includes technical data and cost information, demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement. The capability statements must be submitted by email as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on the prior contract GS07F039DA-FA486124F0326 awarded to Advantor Systems II for the purchase and installation of an Advantor IDS. The current requirement is for 59 TES Vault IDS Advantor units, which suggests a continuation or expansion of the same Advantor IDS procurement/installation effort referenced in the attachment quote, with similar equipment and scope.
