## Description

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to award a sole source purchase order to the County of Placer, CA for joining their trunked radio system PIRCS (Placer Interoperable Radio Communications System). A purchase order will be issued for a Base Year and two Option Years as follows:

**Period of Performance (POP):**

**Base Year:**

**07/01/2024 – 06/30/2025 Option Year 1:**

**07/01/2025 – 06/30/2026 Option Year 2:** 07/01/2026 – 06/30/2027 Due to the uniqueness of this requirement, and the geographical location of the PIRCS antenna site, no other location is acceptable. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. A written solicitation will not be issued, and quotes are not being requested. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority FAR 13.106-1(b).

This service is being solicited and awarded as a commercial item in accordance with FAR Part 12, in conjunction of FAR Part 13. Justification: This is an agent safety issue. The Contractor operates the antenna sites that are uniquely located in an area which allows Criminal Investigation (CI) to maintain maximum coverage in the respective city.

Furthermore, the IRS has already performed detailed propagation studies based on the elevation and placement on the tower that ensures CI gets maximum radio coverage at the location identified above. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capabilities to meet the requirements by submitting capabilities statements in writing to the IRS Primary Point of Contact via email no later than Wednesday, May 29, 2024, by 12:30 PM, Pacific Day Time (PDT).

It is solely within the discretion of the IRS to evaluate your capabilities, and to determine whether to compete this contract action. Any questions regarding this action should be directed to the IRS Primary Point of Contact via email at Ezilda.Warthaw@irs.gov. Questions received through phone calls or mail will not be acknowledged or responded.
