Sole Source Special Notice for Pleva Inc to install Morse Watchmans key control and security management system at DOT

The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary has issued a sole source special notice to contract with Pleva Inc for the installation of a Morse Watchmans key control and security management system at DOT headquarters in Washington, D.C. This non-competitive procurement has an estimated contract value of $27,995.55 and is intended to replace outdated Keywatcher systems currently in use by the Office of Information and Asset Management. The notice was posted on June 26, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services. The procurement involves specialized key control and security management systems featuring KeyAnywhere and KeyFind technologies specifically designed for automotive fleet management applications. DOT has determined that these systems meet their IT security protocols and have been previously approved by the Office of the Chief Information Officer.

The primary purpose of this sole source justification is to procure new security management systems that integrate with DOT's existing infrastructure while meeting current security standards. DOT has determined that Pleva Inc is the only vendor in the Mid-Atlantic region that is factory-trained and certified to sell, install, and program these specific Morse Watchmans systems. However, the notice provides an opportunity for potential alternative vendors to challenge this determination by submitting a Statement of Qualifications by 11:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time on July 13, 2025. Interested contractors must demonstrate they can perform the project at the required high quality level and should submit their qualifications to the specified DOT email addresses. The sole source justification is based on the system's unique integration capabilities and Pleva Inc's exclusive regional certification for this specialized equipment.
