The United States Bureau of Reclamation, California Great Basin Region, intends to award a firm-fixed price, base plus four (4) option years purchase order on a sole source basis with Ventek International Inc (VI), for the maintenance of five (5) automated pay stations (venstations), under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Ventek International Inc (www.ventek-intl.com) is the sole manufacturer of the items. Venstations are comprised of proprietary PCI/PA-DSS compliant hardware and software that can only be supported by a Ventek certified technician, due to data security concerns. Failure to contract with VI would result in the likelihood of the venstations malfunctioning and becoming inoperable. The Bureau of Reclamation would then lose out on the investment in the pay stations as well as the ability to collect visitor fees. Firms believing, they can provide the services listed above must provide written notification within 5 business days of the posting date of this notice to the Contract Specialist with supporting evidence to that effect in sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responses received within the due date of the solicitation will be considered by the Government. The due date and time for responses is June 22, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. PST. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses shall be emailed to the Government point of contact below. Firms should identify business size (i.e. small business, other than small business, etc.) in accordance with the size standard for NAICS Code 334514.
