    Description

    The Department of Justice, specifically the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), is seeking to renew software services for its Los Angeles Division through a sole source procurement. The DEA intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order to Callyo 2009 Corp, as the software is proprietary and tailored for law enforcement needs, making it essential for specific investigative technologies. This acquisition is justified under FAR Part 13 due to the lack of alternative vendors capable of meeting the DEA's requirements, with an estimated contract value between $10,000 and $250,000 for the performance period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. Interested parties capable of providing the software must submit their capability statements to Angel Barkley at angel.d.barkley@dea.gov by September 10, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. EST for consideration.

    A15 - Limited Source_Redacted.pdf
    This document serves as a Sole Source Documentation under FAR Part 13, addressing a procurement action for remote recording and monitoring services required for law enforcement enforcement operations. The estimated contract value falls between $10,000 and $250,000, with a performance period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The justification for a sole source acquisition originates from the proprietary nature of the services offered by the sole vendor, Callyo, which are tailored for law enforcement agencies and necessary for specific investigative technologies. Conducted market research concluded that no alternative vendor could adequately fulfill the investigative needs, reinforcing the decision to contact Callyo exclusively for these services. The documentation emphasizes that a Limited Sources Justification must be publicly posted for orders over $25,000, substantiating that the pricing will only proceed once deemed fair and reasonable by the contracting officer. This procurement process underscores the regulatory requirements for federal acquisitions in situations where competitive bidding is not feasible.
