This is an Informal Sole Source Justification document for a federal procurement. The project involves Valek's DocsVision Inspection and Data Integrity System, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) seeks to procure supplies and services from Valek, Inc. to support the DocsVision Inspection and Data Integrity System used across SSA's field offices. The system addresses a critical operational need by automating the reading and validation of serial numbers on Social Security Cards, eliminating manual errors and improving document lifecycle management. Valek is positioned as the sole authorized provider of this custom-built system, which became operational in 2013 and currently processes approximately 100 million Social Security Cards annually. The system is essential for SSA's card production and processing operations and has achieved performance standards that prevent document damage and maintain data integrity. The justification cites Valek's unique technical expertise and exclusive authorization to support the system as the basis for this sole-source procurement, with the Contracting Officer designated to make the final award decision.
