TRITECH COMMUNICATIONS INC

625 Locust ST STE 300

Garden City, New York

11530-6557

This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services and will be made pursuant to the authority at 41 U.S.C. 1901, utilizing simplified procedures in accordance with RFO 12.201-1. Competition is being restricted in accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a), based on the Contracting Officer’s determination that only one source is available to meet the Government’s requirements. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541519 and the business size standard is $34 Million.

The following is the requirement for solicitation number: PCA-NHLBI-02361

Professional IT services will be utilized by ITAC for:

• Troubleshooting and repair of AV hardware and control systems

• Reprogramming and recoding of proprietary control code

• System optimization and functionality enhancements

• Preventative maintenance (1 visit/year)

• Service desk response within 4 hours; on-site dispatch within 2 business days

• Phone support, training, and site surveys

2.0 UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE CONTRACTOR

ITAC requires specialized contractor support from a provider uniquely qualified to deliver continued support for the existing audiovisual (AV) systems. TriTech Communications Inc is the original service provider, having designed, programmed and integrated the current audiovisual (AV) environment. As the original system integrator, TriTech maintains exclusive knowledge of the proprietary control software, system architecture, configurations, and operational dependencies that support the existing systems. This specialized expertise enables the contractor to accurately diagnose issues, perform maintenance, implement modifications, and enhance system capabilities while minimizing risk and avoiding disruption to existing functionality.

There is no other known contractor that has access to the proprietary codes, programming documentation, or configuration history required to perform these services. Any attempt by another vendor to assume support would require extensive redevelopment, and system reprogramming, resulting in potential increased costs, prolonged downtime, and unnecessary operational risk of disruption.

TriTech's specialized expertise ensures uninterrupted support for mission-critical conference rooms used for executive briefings, Council meetings, hybrid collaboration, and other high-priority needs for the Government. The contractors continued services provide the most efficient and reliable means of maintaining system performance while avoiding disruptions to ongoing operations.
