- Description
- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition This is an intent to award sole source notification. The Washington Headquarters Services Enterprise Management Directorate (WHS EM), has a requirement to add additional products and services to their InfoNet program. These services include the following: 1) Professional Services - Telepresence Touch Sequence for Wayfinding; 2) Wayfinding Solution - configuration and training; 3) Emergency Messaging Solution; 4) Intel Analytics - Playlist Management. The InfoNet program is comprised of digital signage screens and interactive kiosks, and serves the Pentagon and other Federal Buildings with the infrastructure and messaging capability to quickly and efficiently provide messaging to building occupants and visitors. Jibestream Inc. (Cage - L04Q7) is the sole vendor capable of integrating multiple third-party technologies, which is called for in this requirement. It is the only company worldwide that has integrated interactive Wayfinding with InfoNet's current digital signage platform "Havision," Intel AIM tracking analytics engine, along with Cisco's Telepresence platform for live video conferencing from public kiosks. The combination and integration of these technologies is proprietary code and technical knowledge unique to Jibestream Inc. There was no other small business vendor found that was in the unique position of having partnerships with all three major vendors (Haivision, Cisco, and Intel), in order to successfully implements all elements of the requirement. The attached justification further details the unique logisitics of the requirement, and the reasoning behind the sole-source intent. This notice of intent to sole source is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same services. Capability statements shall be submitted by email only as a MS Word or Adobe PDF attachment to Courtney Holbrook at courtney.holbrook.ctr@whs.mil. Statements are due by 12:00 PM EST, 12 Sept 2012. No phone calls accepted. All capability statements received within 10 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
