ECS Point of Sale System

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of
Acquisition, proposes to enter into a contract on a basis other than full and open competition.

Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6, CBP intends to limit the number of sources by awarding a Blanket
Purchase Agreement (BPA) to National Cash Register (NCR), 20370 Seneca Meadows Pkwy,
Germantown, MD 20876, for operations and maintenance of existing proprietary products. The
BPA will use Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders and be awarded under the GSA Federal Supply
Schedule, Contract Number GS-35F-0082V. 

CBP intends to procure professional software services to maintain and seek opportunities for
continual improvement of the existing Point of Sale (POS) software in use on CBP POS cash
registers and within the Enterprise Management System (EMS), which is a web based Mperium
software platform. The EMS connects all cash registers throughout the CBP enterprise to support
CBP enterprise-wide register monitoring, Port-level receipt reconciliation across multiple cash
registers at a single port location and facilitates the ultimate deposit process which allows the POS
system to communicate collection receipts to the CBP System of Record for collections, known as
ACS. It is noted that NCR’s Mperium proprietary product is the core component of this software
package.

Awarded contract 70B01C22Q00000136 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2022-08-15.
