- Description
- US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis with Pacific Applied Technology, Inc. (PAT), for the renewal of licensing for brand name specific software, NCIC/NLETS Interface Software, under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) and 41 USC 253(c)(1). *This is brand name specific software. It is the only product which can provide this critical function without costly modification and downtime - currently 2,894 TECS production programs have this software as part of the application such that even a minor change to 2,894 programs would be unacceptable in terms of time and resources and could introduce operational risk by making such major changes. Additionally, CBP needs to retain a consistent code base in moving forward with an ongoing TECS Modernization period. *Sole Source determination is made based on PAT software being a proprietary product and which provides a "Right to Use" license to utilize PAT software interface. Pacific Applied Technology, Inc. is the only vendor of TECS NCIC/NLETS Interface Software. Pacific Applied Technology, Inc. is authorized to install, maintain, and support its products in secure and non-secure Government locations, and is capable of handling the sheer volume of TECS production programs in place. There is no other vendor who can either demonstrate they regularly support the CBP daily FBI NCIC production inquiry/response volume, or support it on an IBM mainframe using the CA/DATACOM/DB database product. Pacific Applied Technology has an accepted classification as a small business, and this addresses small business set aside concerns. *This license renewal will cover a base year plus 2 option years and 1 option period of 6 months to cover 3 1/2 of the 5 year period of design and implementation of the ongoing modernization strategy. *The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 511210, Software Publishers. *The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with Pacific Applied Technology, Inc. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. An award shall be made to Pacific Applied Technology, Inc. no later than August 31, 2010.
