On August 30, 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Patriot Technologies, Inc. for a Checkpoint IP695 disk system, with a ceiling value of $81,403.80 and an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2010. The contract was performed in Washington, DC and utilized no small business set-aside designation. Patriot Technologies, a systems integrator with over two decades of manufacturing experience, specializes in mission-specific technology solutions across defense, military, and intelligence sectors, including hardware integration and cybersecurity solutions.
This purchase order represents a discrete equipment procurement by the civilian statistical agency. The acquisition of the Checkpoint disk system aligns with standard IT infrastructure modernization efforts that federal agencies undertake to maintain secure data storage and system performance. Given the relatively short performance window of approximately one month, this was likely a time-sensitive replacement or upgrade to existing infrastructure at the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Washington headquarters.
