Intent to Award Sole Source - Jibestream

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.

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.
