70--Notice of Intent to Sole Source - PIER Systems

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, plans to award a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to immixTechnology, Inc. for the provisioning of the PIER Systems Monthly Hosting and Support under a lifetime pre-paid subscription. This acquisition supports the EPA’s Region 9 Regional Response Team IX and the Oceania Regional Response Team, which includes federal and state preparedness and response partners, by maintaining the online stakeholder relationship management and emergency communications system essential for their operations. The award bypasses the typical competitive bidding process under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1 and FAR Part 13, as immixTechnology is the sole authorized reseller of PIER Systems. This procurement is not a request for quotes, and no solicitation is available. Interested parties were given until May 29, 2013, to submit written inquiries to the designated Contract Specialist, Amitkumar Raikar. The contract is intended to facilitate continued support for critical emergency communication tools managed through the PIER platform, ensuring readiness and response coordination within the designated EPA regions. The contracting office overseeing this action is located in San Francisco, CA, under the EPA’s Region 9 Contracting Office, with the NAICS code for the agreement listed as 423430.
