The U.S. Small Business Administration, Washington, DC - INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) intends to negotiate and procure the following services on a sole source basis. This is neither a solicitation announcement nor a request for proposals or quotes and does not obligate the Government to award a contract. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response.
This is a notice of intent to award a sole source purchase order to Kastle Systems LLC (Kastle) to take over 14 existing Datawatch card readers, 6 turnstile readers, 43 proximity readers, and 2 supervisory point systems to upgrade each component to meet Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), "Policies for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors" standards and to install 2 new audible panic alarms, 13 supervisory point systems, and 1 proximity security & access control reader system meeting HSPD-12.
The SBA, through a General Services Administration lease with the Charles E. Smith Company/Vornado, is one of several tenants at 409 3rd Street, S.W., Washington, DC. The building management company has switched vendors from Datawatch to Kastle, and will not permit tenants to install access control systems or components manufactured, installed, maintained, or services provided by any other vendor than Kastle.
