About this opportunity
This Special Notice was published by the Bureau of Fiscal Service on behalf of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. It announces the intent to sole source a contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc. for the acquisition of Axon brand body cameras and digital evidence management software and services.
The Special Notice seeks to justify a sole source award to Axon Enterprises, Inc. due to their status as the only certified provider of cloud-based digital evidence management systems that meet all requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act. Interested parties were invited to submit written responses by January 31, 2024 demonstrating how their product meets all needs described, however, as Axon is the sole manufacturer and provider that complies with necessary federal standards for cloud computing and digital evidence storage, no solicitation was contemplated and the agency intends to make award directly to Axon if no acceptable alternative response is received.
