69 -- Dr. Ben Bissell Training Video Device

The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the Border and Transportation Security division within the U.S. Customs Service, plans to award a sole source purchase order to WR Shirah located in Richmond, VA, for the acquisition of “Dr. Ben Bissell’s Training Video” titled "Facing the Challenge of Change." This procurement will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures because the content of the video is proprietary, and there are no other sources capable of fulfilling the minimum requirements of the U.S. Customs Service. The procurement will be made under the authority allowing for sole source awards when only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements. This notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation documents will be issued. The U.S. Customs Service reserves the discretion to decide not to compete the purchase based on any responses received and will consider any information solely for price comparison purposes. The contract is managed by the Procurement Directorate Contracting Division of the Department of Homeland Security, headquartered in Washington, DC.
