BIP2468_SoleSource 0321_Accumail~1.pdf

This document appears to be a sole source justification for the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation's plan to award a sole source contract for maintenance and support services for their AccuMail digital mailing system. The contract would be awarded to AccuMail, the original equipment manufacturer, for a 3-year term with two 1-year renewal options. The contract will provide maintenance, support, software upgrades, and parts for the City's existing AccuMail system used for automated sorting, folding, and inserting of utility bills and other correspondence.

The justification cites AccuMail's proprietary hardware and software as well as their specialized technical expertise as the sole source for these services. The estimated annual value of the contract is $500,000, with a total 5-year value up to $2.5 million if all renewal options are exercised. No set-asides or subcontracting requirements are mentioned. The funding for this contract will come from the Bureau of Sanitation's existing operating budget.
