Covert concealment audio/video recording devices

The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to conduct a sole source procurement for covert concealment audio/video recording devices with Saul Mineroff Electronics, Inc. of Elmont, NY. This procurement falls under NAICS Code 334290 and will be conducted using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The DEA anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order for these specialized recording devices. The notice was posted on September 12, 2025, and represents a civilian agency procurement within the Department of Justice. This is not a set-aside procurement and no Request for Quotation is currently available.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other potential vendors an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to meet the government's requirements before the DEA proceeds with its planned sole source award. Interested contractors must submit capability statements electronically to Monica.J.Gehrer@dea.gov by September 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to open the requirement to competition based on the responses received. Vendors must demonstrate they can provide covert concealment audio/video recording devices that meet the DEA's specific operational needs. The notice emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive quotations but rather an opportunity for vendors to present their qualifications and capabilities. Any decision by the government to maintain the sole source approach or proceed to competition will be based entirely on the agency's evaluation of submitted capability statements.
