UP TO $150,000

(See FAR 13.106-1)

Date: 4/15/21 PR Number: 0040517346

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

__Procurement of a multi year Service contract for maintenance and support of the Lake Mead Interagency Communications Centers WestTel 911 Telephone system. The cost of this procurement is:

$118,500.00 for a 5 year contract.

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

___xx___ Only one responsible source.

______ Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.

______ Other _____________________________________________________

Explain: __The only source capable of maintaining the 911 telephone system at the communications center is the original manufacturer, WestTel International. This contract is for the ongoing maintenance and updates to the system. As the system is proprietary in nature and we aren't replacing the system but maintaining it so we must use the Original Equipment Manufacturer.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

None. Equipment is proprietary and can’t be supported by other than the OEM.

To further support this notion, the LAKE MABO posted a sources sought notice to Beta.Sam.gov on 04/05/2021 for three days to identify small business capability or interest. No responses were received before the requested due date of 04/08/2021.
