About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation issued a sole-source Special Notice on September 17, 2026, announcing its intention to award a purchase order to Versar Security Systems, LLC, for Electronic Security System upgrade, maintenance, and monitoring at DOT's Continuity of Operations Center in Piney Point, Maryland, with a response deadline of September 20, 2026 at 11:30 PM EDT.
The estimated project cost is $77,207.85. DOT will not publish a formal solicitation; the procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.103-1 with no full and open competition. DOT justifies the sole-source award based on Versar's installed-base advantage: Versar deployed the existing equipment in 2015 and has maintained it annually for 11 years, holding irreplaceable institutional knowledge and security clearances necessary for the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities at the site. Versar is a certified LENEL and BOSCH distributor and holds an established partnership with SETEC, the Intelligence Community-approved monitoring company required for these facilities. Market research confirmed that competing firms lack the necessary security clearances, knowledge of proprietary database configurations, and SETEC partnership parameters. Transitioning to another vendor would necessitate costly duplication of existing infrastructure and risk service disruption.
Any entity believing it meets DOT's requirements may submit a Statement of Qualifications by email to james.mowery@dot.gov, Carlos.Marrero@dot.gov, and Leonel.Raba@dot.gov by September 20, 2026 at 11:30 PM EDT. The contracting activity is DOT's Acquisition Services Division (M-63) in Washington, DC.
