Intent to sole source - unipoint software

The Federal Emergency Management Agency intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13) with UniPoint Software, Inc., 1425 Whyte Avenue, Suite 200, Winnipeg, MB R3E1V7, as the only responsible source that can provide quality management system support for UniPoint software and software support at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) located in Anniston, AL. 

UniPoint Software, Inc. is the sole vendor capable of meeting CDP’s unique training requirements.  UniPoint’s Quality Management Software system was installed by UniPoint at the CDP for their unique abilities to interconnect and function with current DHS network architecture, maintenance platforms and configuration. Similar products lack the innovation, automation, metrics, and centralized feature(s) required and do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the needs of the CDP.  The UniPoint software systems are proprietary and there are no authorized support providers. Based on the above information, the only organization known which can provide technically acceptable services is UniPoint Software, Inc.

The objective is to make certain the UniPoint software system is available for the sustainment, strengthening, and of data gathering, analysis, reporting, and documentation, is updated and operating properly, and is in full compliance with international, national, and agency standards for the CDP to help minimize system downtime and manual information tracking.

Specifically, the major tasks (or services required) are as follows:

1. International Standards for Organizations (ISO) compliance

2. Automated modules, metrics, performance indicators, tools and technology to meet all requirements by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/International Association for Continuous Education and Training (IACET) ANSI/IACET (Standard for Continuing Education and Training)

3. ISO 31000 (Risk Management)

4. ISO 9001 (document Control) for CDP programs that include the Chemical, Ordnance, Biological, Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF) products and services.

5. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) compliance

6. 2025 FEMA Annual Planning Guidance and DHS Guidance for Data Reporting compliance

7. Automated capability to capture, analyze, report data trends, and automate compliance and certification processes for Just-In-Time reporting, archiving and retrieval. 

The period of performance will be for one (1) year from the date of award, with the potential of two (2) one-year option periods for renewal at the discretion of the Government.
