AI Contract Overview

The Federal Emergency Management Agency intends to award a sole source contract to Cassidian Communications for the lifecycle replacement of the existing Emergency Notification System hardware and software. This procurement is justified under FAR Part 13 and 6.302-1 because the Communicator NXT! System is proprietary and patented, making Cassidian the only source with the necessary corporate knowledge to perform the replacement without voiding warranties or causing interoperability issues. Furthermore, FEMA Directive 262-3 designates this specific system as the only authorized emergency notification solution for agency use. The contract, identified by solicitation number HSFE50-14-Q-0011, falls under NAICS code 334290 and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security. The expected period of performance is 120 calendar days from the date of award. While FEMA believes Cassidian is the only capable provider, the agency has provided a mechanism for other firms to submit a Statement of Specifications and product literature if they can provide an equivalent, FEMA-authorized system.

Full Description

In accordance with FAR Part 13 and 6.302-1(a)(2), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) intends to award a sole source contract under FAR 6.302-1 "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." FEMA intends to award this contract to Cassidian Communications, Temecula, CA, 92590. The contract is for lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software system. The existing software is proprietary and patented and only Cassidian possesses the corporate knowledge required to support the existing system. No other firm can provide the lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software on the Communicator NXT! System, since it is a proprietary system. Installing and uploading another product from another contractor will void the warranty with Cassidian Communications and possibly create interoperability issues. In addition, FEMA Directive 262-3 dated 11-03-11 designates the ENS system as the official FEMA solution for emergency notification. No other notification systems have been authorized for FEMA use. This system is provided by Cassidian via the Communicator NXT! See Statement of Work (attachment) for Section 508 and security requirements. The total value of this requirement is anticipated to be approximately ____ and the expected period of performance is to be from date of award through 120 (calendar) days. FEMA is aware of no other firm, other than Cassidian Communications that can provide the type of lifecycle replacement to the existing ENS hardware/software described here and in the JOFOC. However, any firm that believes it is capable of providing equivalent services that meet the specifications stated and is an ENS that is authorized by FEMA shall e-mail a Statement of Specifications and associated product literature to Christine Todd at Christine.todd@dhs.gov.
