Notification of Intent to Sole-Source F-Concepts Video System Installation

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is proceeding with a sole-source procurement to award F-Concepts of Vienna, VA, a contract to procure and install a new NDAA-compliant video surveillance system at its warehouse facility in Rockville, MD. The decision is grounded in the necessity for system compatibility with CPSC’s existing infrastructure, which is entirely managed and maintained by F-Concepts under a current maintenance agreement, and the requirement that all equipment meet NDAA and TAA compliance standards. F-Concepts is the only source capable of delivering components that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring operational continuity and avoiding costly disruptions or security gaps from incompatible hardware. The procurement is structured as a simplified acquisition under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Subpart 12 procedures and justified under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), which permits non-competitive awards when only one responsible source exists. The scope includes the installation of twelve 5MP outdoor dome cameras, one PTZ camera, a 20TB JBOD recording server, a 24-port PoE+ switch, mounting hardware, and associated cabling and labor, with all equipment required to comply fully with NDAA restrictions. Performance is to occur at the Rockville warehouse, while the contracting office is located in Bethesda, MD, with the contract to be executed under government oversight. While the estimated value of the contract falls below $700,000 and no formal pricing data is provided, the procurement follows non-competitive procedures and does not require evaluation factors, competitive bidding, or formal contract clauses from FAR Part 52. All submissions must be in writing and received via email from the Contract Specialist by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on June 29, 2026, with no phone inquiries permitted. The government retains discretion to proceed with the sole-source award even if other offerings are received during the 15-day notice window. Though the installation will make use of existing cabling and infrastructure where feasible, no specific packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are outlined, and no formal inspection criteria beyond NDAA compliance and system integration are specified. The contracting officer’s representative is James Webb, and oversight is provided by Cary Windsor, though direct contact details for either are not provided. The sole requirement for offerors is to submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the system integration and NDAA compliance demands, with no need to compete based on price, schedule, or technical superiority.
