Transmitters and Pagers

T he Social Security Administration (SSA), Region II, intends to negotiate with ADT Security Services, Inc, 3601 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22304 on a sole-source basis to furnish DigiLink transmitters and GEO40 pagers in approximately 26 Social Security Administration (SSA) offices located in New York, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. The equipment is being added to a delivery order to be issued against the contractor's GSA Schedule contract, in accordance with FAR Part 8.402(f), to furnish and install panic buttons, keypads, transmitters, pagers and related equipment to existing SSA field office security systems. The transmitters and pagers must integrate with existing building design, space and appurtenances established for system repair or modification. Since the equipment to be ordered under the GSA Schedule delivery order will be maintained under warranty by ADT Security Services, SSA intends to negotiate directly with ADT Security Services so as to comply with maintenance & warranty agreements, ensure a smooth and rapid response and a clear line of accountability for all breakdowns, minimize safety risks to SSA personnel, and minimize disruption to operations while maintaining limited down time of office security systems. The Government will consider information from responsible sources submitted to the point of contact by 4:00 PM ET September 30, but a determination by the Government not to compete this requirement is solely at the discretion of the Government.
