Intent to Sole Source AssetMaster Electronic Locker

The purpose of this synopsis is to notify industry that a sole source contract action is intended to be awarded to Traka USA, Inc. under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). This sole source contract award shall be made on or before September 30, 2022.  U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations, Port of San Diego needs one electronic locker with capability to store, charge, and maintain inventory electronically. Stored electronic equipment is used on a daily basis by multiple personnel on site. The capability to maintain inventory in a centralized secure location with limited and traceable access will further insure accountability of government property.

Traka is the only source that that meets the needs of the port.  The required item will charge mobile devices while being stored to make sure they are ready for use. Also, the required item will provide limited access to government equipment by creating unique user id and passwords to be able to access devices. As a result, the required equipment will allow Government Supervisor’ the capability to review activity logs that show when personnel checked out equipment and when it was returned.

Via this notice, it has been determined, and is in the Government’s sole discretion not to compete this contract action. This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, however all responsible sources that believe they can meet all of the requirements may submit a capabilities statement, which shall be considered. Interested parties shall be required to provide a capabilities statement which would demonstrate how they can potentially meet the requirements described above.
