D--Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Contract Action

The contract is a sole source award to Special Operations Technology Inc. (SOTECH) under the authority allowing procurement from only one responsible source. The Government requires SOTECH to install, maintain, operate, and later remove lawful intercept equipment using their proprietary technology across multiple locations within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The work involves handling Government-provided equipment through all phases from deployment to demobilization. Issued by the Department of Defense and associated with solicitation number W9113M13C0039, the contract pertains to a specialized telecommunications services industry under NAICS code 517919. The contracting office is located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and the procurement is justified due to the unique capabilities of SOTECH’s systems and processes, which are not available from other sources. The contract was publicly noted in July 2013 and aligns with regulations for sole source acquisitions where only one vendor is capable of fulfilling the specific requirements.
