About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Refuge Law Enforcement announces their intent to award a sole source contract to Axon Enterprise, Inc. The notice includes a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition documenting why Axon is the only company that can meet the agency's requirements.
The Special Notice seeks to establish a five-year fixed price contract with Axon to provide their Officer Safety Plan 7+ solution for approximately 250 law enforcement officers. This will include conducted energy weapons, body cameras, digital evidence management software meeting FedRAMP and security standards, and related training, warranties, and services. Interested parties have until March 30th to submit a statement of capabilities demonstrating how their solution could also meet the requirements, though the JOFOC identifies Axon as the only option currently compliant. The contract is estimated to save over $2.7 million compared to the agency's current expenditures regionally over the five year period through this integrated solution.
