Notice Details

Pursuant to Procurement Policy Board Rule Section 3-05, New York City Emergency Management (NYCEM) intends to enter into a sole source agreement with VisionLink, Inc. (VisionLink) for the provision of a database system to be utilized for the agency’s Community Preparedness team’s canvassing activities during extreme weather emergencies and other team activities.

VisionLink is the sole provider of the Community Operating System™ platform known as CommunityOS®. This technology was designed to be seamlessly utilized during both “blue-sky” community services operations and for “gray-sky” disaster management. This sole source agreement will allow NYCEM to gain access to this exclusive technology as a management tool for the Agency’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs. The system will also allow volunteer users to access software for the reporting on many key metrics of the CERT program as well. This proprietary CommunityOS® software requires no software integration or custom build-out, which means NYCEM will have immediate access to the full suite of VisionLink’s software, without the timely buildout of a customized database for the agency’s needs.

Any firm which believes is qualified to provide such services is invited to do so. To respond in PASSPort, please complete the Acknowledgment tab and submit a response in the Manage Responses tab.
