Photocell Concealments

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a civilian agency within the Department of Justice, has issued a Special Notice for photocell concealments. The notice indicates the agency's intent to negotiate a sole source procurement with Ancora Technologies Inc, a Canadian company located in Ottawa. This federal contract opportunity was posted on February 4, 2025, with a submission deadline of February 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. The acquisition will be conducted using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is classified under NAICS code 334310. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive quotation request, but allows other vendors to submit capability statements for potential consideration.

Potential contractors interested in this opportunity can submit electronic capability statements directly to Sonya.L.Maxwell@dea.gov by the specified deadline. The DEA anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order and retains sole discretion in determining whether to open the requirement to competition based on received capability statements. Vendors who believe they can meet the government's requirements are invited to submit their statements, understanding that the agency will review these submissions. The government will post a Justification for Sole Source 14 days after the award. While this notice does not guarantee an open competitive process, it provides an avenue for vendors to demonstrate their potential to fulfill the photocell concealment requirements. Interested companies should carefully review the notice and prepare their capability statements accordingly, recognizing that the final procurement decision rests exclusively with the DEA.
