About this opportunity
The US Section International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) Acquisition Division is issuing a Notice of Intent on July 28, 2026 to conduct a sole-source award to LB Technology for maintenance, technical support, and operational sustainment of the IBWC GPS Fleet Tracking System, with written objections due by August 14, 2026. The sole-source justification rests on the fact that only LB Technology possesses proprietary tools required to maintain GPS tracking hardware installed under previous USIBWC and GSA contracts; replacing the entire fleet would be uneconomical. The award will be executed under FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) and justified under FAR 6.3021 (Only One Responsible Source). This notice is informational only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. Interested parties wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit written evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the Government; responses must be emailed to Adrian Knights at Adrian.knights@ibwc.gov. No unsolicited quotations or competitive proposals will be considered in connection with this notice, and telephone inquiries will not be answered. The Government reserves discretion to conduct competitive procurement notwithstanding this notice.
