70 -- Certeon S-Series S-2000 Accelerator

The Federal Law Enforcement Center (FLETC) at Glynco, Georgia, plans to award a sole source contract to Certeon, Inc. for the purchase of four Certeon S-Series S-2000 accelerators. This acquisition will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302, meaning the government intends to solicit and negotiate exclusively with Certeon, Inc., without seeking multiple awards. Although this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, interested firms that believe they can meet the requirements may submit written notifications and demonstrate their capability to the contracting officer by the specified deadline, September 29, 2006, no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Submissions must be sent via email or facsimile as per the instructions provided. The main purpose of this notice is to inform potential competitors and to gather information to determine if a competitive procurement is necessary. The government retains full discretion to proceed without competition based on the information received. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541511, and the procurement office is part of the Department of Homeland Security, located in Brunswick, Georgia. The primary point of contact is Ms. Cynthia Bartosh, who is responsible for receiving capability statements. Additional contract details and communication are managed through the FLETC Glynco Procurement Office, emphasizing that responses will be considered solely for evaluation of competition feasibility rather than as solicitation responses.
