AIS Document Scanning Software

The 142nd Fighter Wing intends to sole source for the upgrade of the Document Control Automated Imaging system (DCAIS) to Norcom Inc., 21638 NE 20th Way Sammamish, WA 98074. Norcom is the manufacturer and direct seller of the system and software to the Government. The upgrade of this software will be utilized by our Logistics squadron in the Standard Base Supply System (SBSS) to scan, track, and maintain electronic documents. The Norcom document control AIS interfaces with the standard base supply system currently in use at the 142nd Fighter Wing. It is our understanding that the Norcom document control AIS is certified by Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) for use on standard desktop systems connected to the Air Force Network and is on the Air Force Evaluated/Approved Products List (AF E/APL). It is for these reasons that we do not expect to receive competition. Installing a new document control AIS is not cost-effective compared to performing the update. Anticipated award date is 3 September 2018.

This procurement is being made pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2), FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source.", and FAR 13.106(b)(1) for other than full and open competition and soliciting from a single source. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Norcom provided the original document control system at the base and is the sole manufacturer (see Sole Source Brand Name Justification MFR).

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
