AI Contract Overview

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) intends to award a sole source contract to National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems Inc. (NLETS) for a period covering one base year with four additional option years. This contract is designed to provide FMCSA with real-time, consolidated access to state-exclusive security databases, which are crucial for supporting the agency’s enforcement activities related to both safety and security. NLETS offers a unique single-point-of-entry system providing access to international criminal justice data, enabling FMCSA’s investigative personnel, particularly in the Emergency Response and Security Section, to quickly obtain critical law enforcement information needed to meet Homeland Security requirements. Over time, the contract will expand access to other designated FMCSA staff, allowing them to view driver license, driver history, and criminal history data in real-time, aiding in the identification of potential national security risks versus routine safety issues. This firm fixed-price contract will be awarded under the exceptions stipulated in FAR 6.302-1, as NLETS is deemed the only source capable of fulfilling these specialized requirements without causing duplication of costs or delays. The contract follows a prior arrangement, underscoring the necessity of continuity and the high specialization of NLETS’s services. Any inquiries regarding the contract may be directed to the designated Contracting Specialist, Vinton M. Grant. The contract was publicly noticed in September 2007 and is managed by the Department of Transportation’s Office of Acquisition Management in Washington, DC.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to award a sole source contract to National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems Inc, (NLETS) 2930 Camel Back Road #160, Phoenix, AZ 85016-4497. The period of performance will for one base year and 4 option years. FMCSA requires real-time, consolidated access to a variety of state-exclusive security databases. FMCSA, in turn, intends to make such security information available to its investigative personnel on a progressively expanding basis. Specifically, NLETS provides unique, single-point-of-entry access to international criminal justice data resources, and represents a potential, critical support tool in FMCSA's ability to conduct both safety and security enforcement activities at the roadside and in motor carriers' respective places of business. Drawing upon its many database records, NLETS would first provide FMCSA's Emergency Response and Security Section with immediate access to law enforcement information desperately needed for FMCSA to meet its Homeland Security requirements, and will soon thereafter also provide other designated FMCSA personnel (on a rolling basis) with direct, real-time access to various driver license, driver history and criminal history information, any one of which could prove vital in distinguishing simple safety violations from potential national security threats. The contemplated contract will be firm fixed-price. This award will be made in accordance with FAR 6.302-1; only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements as a follow on to an existing contract. The services are highly specialized and it is likely that an award to any other source would result in duplication of cost to the government and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement. Note 22 Authority 41 U.S.C 253(c)(1) Any questions comments or concerns should be directed to the Contracting Specialist (Non Fed) Vinton M. Grant at vinton.grant@dot.gov at (202) 385-2348.
