7J--IMT checkpoint hardware and support

The Bureau of Reclamation, a division of the Department of the Interior, has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to award a sole source procurement for CheckPoint Software maintenance under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). The agency plans to solicit and award a purchase order to DirSec Corporate Office for CheckPoint Hardware and Support services. This notice is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside and falls under PSC category 7J20 for IT and Telecom Security and Compliance Products. The Bureau of Reclamation's Acquisition and Operation Branch in Denver, Colorado is managing this procurement action. The government has determined that only one responsible source can provide this specific requirement.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to notify the market of the government's intent to proceed with a single source award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. The agency is operating under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for other than full and open competition when only one source can satisfy agency requirements. Firms that believe they possess the technical capability to meet this need must submit a technical capability statement along with their business profile to Rhonda Ligon at rligon@usbr.gov within five days of the notice posting date of August 12, 2025. Any responses received will be treated as market research information for future similar requirements. The notice explicitly states that this is not a solicitation and that quotations or proposals submitted in response will not be accepted, as the government is not requesting formal proposals at this time.
