AI Contract Overview

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) plans to enter into a sole source contract with Pitney Bowes, located in Annandale, VA, for a one-year maintenance agreement covering ATF-owned proprietary mailing systems. These systems include several models developed exclusively by Pitney Bowes, such as the DM Infinity, B700 series, DM 300 series, DM 500 series, and the 1000 series. Because Pitney Bowes is the sole provider authorized to service this specialized equipment, no other company can perform the necessary maintenance and repairs. This arrangement ensures that the ATF's 227 locations maintain fully operational mailing equipment, critical for the timely dispatch of mission-related materials and for avoiding costly equipment replacements. The contract will be awarded through Simplified Acquisition Procedures under the authority of FAR 6.302, which allows negotiation without competitive bidding due to the unique nature of the servicing provider. The government's decision not to compete the contract is discretionary, and responses to the notice of intent will only be used to determine whether competitive procurement is necessary. Interested parties may submit questions up until the closing date of February 2, 2007. The designated point of contact for this acquisition is Paula King, who can be reached via email or fax. This procurement aims to maintain operational readiness and avoid disruption to the Bureau’s mission by ensuring continuous, reliable maintenance support for its specialized mailing systems.

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 February 2, 2007, 2:00pm 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.
