Under the authority of FAR 6.302, the government intends to award a sole-source contract to HKS Inc. / Wingler & Sharp Inc., Joint Venture (HKS/WS) of Texas. H KS/WS is the designer of record for the new Bassett Army Hospital at Fort Wainwright, Alaska and has provided construction phase services for the first year of construction activities, beginning in March 2002. This action will be for construction phase se rvices through the completion of construction. Services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of co st to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirement. Having worked on this project for 6 years, HKS/WS is the only design firm with the level of knowledge of the projec t design criteria, analysis, calculations and assumptions required to meet the requirements of the Government for the project specific expertise. Maintaining continuity of A/E services utilizing HKS/WS is essential to the satisfactory completion of the pro ject and is in the Government?s overall best interest. However, if an AE is interested and believes they are capable of performing this work, they are invited to submit their letter of interest along with an outline of their qualifications, addressing kn owledge or experience of the instant procurement or methodology to obtain information without unacceptable delays or duplication of costs.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is within the discretion of the Government. Letters of interest are due 24 Jan 2003 at 1600 (4:00 PM Alaska Time). This acquisition will be conducted under SIC Code: 8711, NAICS Code: 541330. The small business size standard for this code is $4,000,000,000.00. See Note 22. 1.
