NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ¿ This posting serves as notification of the government¿s intent to issue a sole source purchase order.
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), California State Office, intends to award a sole source purchase order to Catalyst Communications Technologies, Inc. for IP Dispatch Consoles and all associated licensing, software, and controllers for the Owens Valley Interagency Communication Center (OVICC).
The required consoles must be Catalyst brand in order to interface with previous units purchased and upgraded and to ensure continuity in operations with the existing units. The California BLM and partnering governmental agencies (PGA) require secure, dependable communications at all times. Continuity of operations is dependent on system availability as well as maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the network. Confidentiality, integrity and availability all work together to provide a highly resilient and always available solution. There are many considerations for maximizing radio communication availability to BLM personnel and our PGAs. BLM currently uses dispatch consoles manufactured by Catalyst Communication Technologies. Based on market research conducted and previous orders it is determined that no other dispatch console manufacturer can provide equal components that will seamlessly integrate into the existing Catalyst Consoles.
