Replacement Notification System

The contract awards a firm-fixed-price, commercial item acquisition for a mass notification system under the Everbridge 360 platform, including FedRAMP-certified hosting, SaaS licensing, and a public safety communications and mobile app add-on for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The base year covers essential licensing and service delivery totaling $73,233.69, with additional line items for installation fees and global messaging units, and four unexercised option periods extending through May 31, 2031, bringing the total potential contract value to $302,733.69. Work is performed at the ATF National Coordination Center in Washington, D.C., with delivery terms governed by FOB destination and acceptance conducted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative based on strict performance standards requiring 100% accuracy for life-safety notifications, adherence to the Performance Work Statement, and compliance with federal regulations including FAR and the Prompt Payment Act. The solicitation was issued as a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541519, awarded using the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, with all contractors required to register on IPP.gov for electronic invoicing and remit overpayments to the designated Treasury office in Washington, DC. Contractor compliance is tightly regulated through a suite of FAR clauses addressing whistleblower rights, anti-kickback measures, employment equity, trafficking in persons, privacy training, and security prohibitions, with mandatory adherence to ATF-specific requirements including a favorable federal background investigation for all personnel, use of government email for communications, and restrictions on external data media per NIST SP 800-88. Attachments such as confidentiality, indemnification, and information security protocols govern data handling, while clauses 52.240-91 and 52.240-92 mandate robust cybersecurity controls. The contractor must maintain an inspection system under FAR 52.246-2, correct nonconforming deliverables at no additional cost, and immediately disclose any organizational conflicts of interest. Subcontractors are subject to the same compliance standards, and accelerated payments are required for small business subcontractors. All obligations are binding for the base period through May 2027 with options contingent on agency needs and funding availability.
