ASSD-0601-MAP2600000002-1 | AMPED - 5-7-2026 - Fusion Center

The contract under solicitation number ASSD-0601-MAP2600000002-1 is a non-competitive, direct award issued by the State of West Virginia through its Division of Administration for the procurement of forensic image and video analysis software, forensic image authentication software, and participation in a mixed Amped Authenticate course from Amped Software USA Inc. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase with optional one-year renewals for up to three additional years, subject to mutual written consent and without automatic renewal. The initial term begins upon execution, with performance and delivery required at the West Virginia Fusion Center in Charleston, WV, under FOB destination terms. No unit prices or total contract value are declared, with pricing details left blank and only speculative 10% increase estimates provided for renewal years, indicating this is a requirements-based procurement not bound by fixed financial thresholds. The vendor must comply with West Virginia-specific clauses governing funding, contract term, governing law, jurisdiction, taxes, assignment, insurance, compliance with laws, arbitration, modifications, waiver, subsequence forms, warranty, state employee use, prohibition on used or refurbished materials, and voiding of conflicting provisions. Special requirements include mandatory criminal background checks for personnel accessing sensitive locations, strict confidentiality and information security protocols, prohibition of conflicts of interest, public disclosure of all submissions as state records, and the vendor’s responsibility to bear all taxes and fees. The state reserves the right to require quarterly financial reporting and enforces a no-debt certification requirement. No contracting officer’s representative or COR is designated; the primary point of contact is Theresa J. Dorsey of the State of West Virginia. Invoicing must follow State Auditor procedures via EFT or P-Card, with no electronic invoicing system specified. The contract contains no formal FAR clauses, and while references to attachments exist—for example, forensic software specifications and training—no explicit list of attachments is provided, nor are packaging, marking, or inspection locations formally defined. Eligibility is confirmed via certification that the vendor is authorized to bind itself, is not suspended or debarred, and has no outstanding debts to the state, but no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic status information is submitted or required. The award was justified due to lack of viable competition under West Virginia Code § 5A-3-10c, with the state asserting that no alternative source could replace the vendor without detrimental operational impact.
