1. Agency and Contracting Activity.

Identification of the agency and the contracting activity, and specific identification of the document as a “Sole Source Justification.”

The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Office of Acquisition Management, proposes to enter into a contract on behalf of Office of the Chief Information Officer, Resource Management Division, on a basis of other than full and open competition.

2. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and anticipated cost.

(a) Type of action: Procurement of new scanners to be able to conduct FY24 annual inventory.

(b) Amount the current J&A is justifying (must be $250,000 or less): $__________

(c) Brief Description: OCIO intends to procure, on a sole source basis, new inventory scanners as the old inventory scanners are old and no longer compatible with network security. The vendor listed below is the only company that can provide the required equipment.

Sunflower Asset Management System (SAMS) is the DHS asset management system of record. DHS (including ICE) has had a Sunflower Assets license, Sunflower MobileTrak Site license which is a CGI Sunflower software that resides on the handheld scanner to conduct physical inventory that communicates to the system of record, SAMS which it was awarded to Annams in 2013 before CGI took over. ICE has been using this software for years as well and this exercise is a scanner refresh. ICE is replacing their old Sunflower scanners with new Sunflower scanners, which the software on the scanner will be the same. Sunflower Assets and MobileTrak are CGI Federal’s proprietary software, if ICE use any other scanners, it will not communicate with the software, which will not pull the correct inventory over, also using any other scanner with void any warranties.

There are no third-party vendors that resell our software. Therefore, there is no vendor that can sell a scanner with Sunflower MobileTrak installed on it. Please see the attached sole source memo from the vendor.
