- Description
- The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) intends to award a sole source contract to The International Justice & Public Safety Network (NLETS). The value of this contract is anticipated to be $30,000. The proposed contract action, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with single source, is under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. NLETS will facilitate access to the FRA�s railroad crossing database. By creating a mirror image of the database at NLETS, over 1 million NLETS users will have access to valuable railroad crossing data using their existing equipment and network connectivity. The proposal herein would incorporate the FRA dataset into the pool of NLETS available data resources and allow access via the existing infrastructure and policy controls. NLETS is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation owned and operated by the 50 States, districts and territories known as the principal membership and is administered by a Board of Directors elected from those state law enforcement agencies.� NLETS employs staff to run the system and network daily. NLETS is unique in that it operates an international system and network accessible by all criminal justice agencies and is the only provider of this capability in the US.� The users of the network are criminal justice agencies, both state and federal and at all levels of government.� There is no other entity in the United States public, private or governmental, which provides this capability. This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals or quotations. No solicitation documentation exists, nor will a solicitation be issued, and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. No contract award will be made based on proposals or quotations received in response to this notice. Information received because of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. If any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities to Christie Ong at christie.ong@dot.gov no later than 10 am ET on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
