About this file

This document is a Sole Source Determination form from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for a procurement of software maintenance and technical support services from CorpTen. The procurement covers upgrades and maintenance for Corpten Unitrac, Autofind, and Evolution software, with a total value of $173,908.61, broken down as follows: Evolution Tech Support & Software Maintenance at $39,962.79, UniTrac Annual Maintenance for AMOC System at $89,927.21, and UniTrac Annual Maintenance for COOP System at $44,648.61. The software will cover a 12-month period and is a proprietary system for electronic satellite tracking that enables two-way communication between multiple satellite, cellular, and radio frequency providers.

The sole source justification is based on CorpTen being the only provider for Unitrac, Evolution, and Autofind software maintenance and technical support. The document emphasizes that these are proprietary systems critical to electronic tracking servers, and failure to award the contract to CorpTen could result in system failures that cannot be resolved by on-site IT personnel, potentially compromising the agency's ability to fulfill its Homeland Security mission. The pricing is determined to be fair and reasonable through comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), and the procurement is for actions above the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
