Notice of Intent to Sole Source Compunetix Inc

The USPFO for Hawaii intends to award a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis to Compuneitx Inc. The statutory authority which permits other than full and open competition for this acquisition is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1. Therefore, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) solicitation from a single source, will be issued to Compunetix Inc to provide EPOS HME-130 headset systems for Mission Voice Platform systems at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The required EPOS HME-130 headset systems are vital components of the proprietary Compunetix Mission Voice Platform (MVP), a system for which Compunetix, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The MVP system requires a specific polarized, dual-prong connector and a unique electronic interface that is not available in standard Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products. The vendor, Compunetix, Inc., has certified in writing that the EPOS HME-130 is the sole compatible replacement for the unit's legacy headsets, which are now discontinued. As the OEM, Compunetix is the only source with the proprietary technical knowledge and authority to guarantee system compatibility and interoperability. Procuring from any other source would introduce unacceptable mission risk and void the warranty and support for the existing mission-critical MVP system. The designated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334310, Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing, with a size standard of 750 employees. Please note that this notice is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ); however, any response to this notice must show clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition will be advantageous to the Government. Responsible parties who believe they can responsibly meet the requirements are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the product/services no later than 10:00 AM Hawaii Standard Time on August 8, 2026. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Jesse Paraiso at jesse.r.paraiso.mil@army.mil. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
