Continued Software Technical Services and Hardware Warranty for OWL File Transfer Systems

The U.S. Department of Justice, National Security Division (NSD) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Owl Computing Technologies, 38 A Grove Street suite 101, Ridgefield, CT 06877 for software technical services (QTY 4) and hardware warranty (QTY 4) on equipment previous purchased by the NSD from Owl Computing Technologies. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 334118 with a business size standard of 1000 employees.
Based on market research it has been determined that Owl Computing Technologies is the only source to meet the NSD's requirement and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. Owl Computing Technologies does not have any authorized resellers capable of supplying software technical services and hardware warranty. Owl Computing Technologies offers a physical one-way that is Common Criteria Certified, patented by the US Government (Sandia National Laboratories) and is exclusively licensed. Owl Computing Technologies is currently the only company capable of providing data diode technology solutions (see U.S. Patent Number 5703562). Software Technical Services includes 24/7, 365 day access to telephone and electronic support as well as application software and communication card software upgrades, improvements, and modifications. The hardware warranty provides for replacement of communications cards if they become inoperable. The proposed contract action is for software technical and hardware warranty services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1).
