The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the United States Security Service (USSS), intends to award a sole source contract to Mark43, Inc. for a 5-year firm-fixed-price agreement regarding the procurement of a FedRAMP Record Management System (RMS) Software as a Service. This system is essential for facilitating efficient information exchange between law enforcement agencies in the National Capitol Region, including the Metropolitan Police Department. Mark43 is deemed the only vendor that meets the unique requirements due to its established interoperability with existing systems used by partner agencies and its capability to provide necessary analytical threat reports. Efforts have been made to ensure competition, including market research and a Request for Information (RFI) posted on SAM.gov. However, most alternative vendors lacked the required certification and interoperability, making them unable to serve the agency's needs. While a notice of intent to sole source will be published to ensure compliance with regulations, the USSS will continue to explore new software solutions to enhance future competitiveness. This action is justified under the FAR provisions aimed at simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items exceeding specified thresholds.
