AI Contract Overview

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) plans to enter into a sole source contract with Pitney Bowes for a one-year maintenance agreement on ATF-owned proprietary mailing systems, including models such as DM Infinity, B700 series, DM 300 series, DM 500 series, and 1000 series. Pitney Bowes is the exclusive provider capable of servicing these specific mailing systems, which are distributed across 227 ATF locations. Securing this maintenance agreement ensures that the equipment remains operational at all times, including during emergencies, thereby supporting the Bureau's critical mission to mail essential documents and materials. Without this contract, ATF risks operational disruptions and significant financial costs associated with replacing non-serviceable equipment. This procurement will proceed without competitive bidding, conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302 and using Simplified Acquisition Procedures as specified by FAR Part 13. The notice serves solely to collect information that may help determine whether competition would be appropriate, but the Government intends to negotiate exclusively with Pitney Bowes. The requirement's closing date was November 1, 2007, with Paula King designated as the contracting officer and primary contact for any inquiries. This approach reflects the unique nature of the proprietary equipment and the necessity of uninterrupted maintenance support.

Full Description

The Bureau of ATF intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Pitney Bowes, Annandale, VA to procure maintenance agreement for one year of ATF owned mailing systems. Pitney Bowes has developed proprietary mailing systems, such as DM infinity, B700 series, DM 300 series, and DM 500 series, and 1000 which ATF owns and no other company can service their mailing systems. By having this equipment under Pitney maintenance agreement ATF will have the assurance of always having operable equipment, at any given time and/or in emergency situations. Pitney Bowes is the only company capable of servicing the Bureau's mailing equipment. Bureau has 227 locations with ATF owned equipment. Failure to have maintenance agreement would be detrimental to the Bureau?s mission due to the fact that ATF will not be able to repair broken equipment and will not be able to mail mission related items. This would also result in serious financial burdens by requiring the purchase of new mailing equipment. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received from interested parties will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. There is no solicitation available for this requirement. This requirement will be awarded through the Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. The closing date for this requirement is November 1 , 2007, 1:00pm EST. Questions concerning this procurement may be addressed to Paula King, Contracting Officer, by e-mail contact@example.gov or fax +1 (555) 000-0000.
