Notice of Intent to Sole Source: Photocell Cameras for Covert Surveillance

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Ancora Technologies Inc., based in Ottawa, Canada, for the acquisition of photocell concealment devices used in covert surveillance. This procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 12, which governs the acquisition of commercial products. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order for this requirement, classified under NAICS code 334310. While the notice invites other vendors who believe they can meet the DEA’s needs to submit capability statements by June 30, 2026, the agency reserves the right to proceed without competition. The final justification for the sole source award will be publicly posted within 14 days after the award. This contract is associated with covert surveillance operations and will be executed with a place of performance in Lorton, Virginia. It is important to note that this notice is not a solicitation or a request for quotations, and no RFQ is available. Potential vendors must submit their capability statements electronically to the designated DEA contact, and the agency will make a determination on whether to open the requirement to competition based on those submissions. The DEA retains full discretion in this process to ensure its operational requirements are met efficiently.
