- Description
- To all those interested in the above RFP. Per FAR 15.206 (e), BIA is canceling this RFP for the following reasons: 1. BIA???s requirements for this type of system have changed. 2. Inadequate information being posted on ???input.com,??? which is a private "for pay" site that conglomerates and distributes Federal Government contract award information. BIA did not authorize the posting of this information to ???input.com??? and the posting consequently created numerous problems that have since seriously jeopardized this RFP competition. The three files that appeared on ???input.com??? did not contain ALL the pertinent information for the RFP, primarily the initial cover letter going out with the RFP materials to properly requesting vendors. Consequently, BIA received several calls, questions, and inquiries from companies that were not on this RFP???s bidder???s list, items that were already answered if those vendors had obtained the proper information from this office. This RFP is public information. However, what appeared on ???input.com??? did not contain all the materials and therefore vendors relying solely on what they saw on ???input.com??? did not receive up to date and accurate information. Prospective offerors are reminded for future acquisitions that FedBizOps is the ONLY authorized electronic source for Government contracting opportunities and that FedBizOps and directions contained in the announcement on FedBizOps are the ONLY sources for accurate and up to date information. Any information obtained from any other electronic source other than from FedBizOps is solely at the risk of any offeror relying on such information. Due to the above reasons, BIA regretfully must cancel RFP # RMK00040064 dated 28 July 2004. A new advertisement for the revised work should be forthcoming in the next few weeks with a projected start date in October, i.e. next FY. Also, the new advertisement and subsequent procurement will be a Buy Indian Set Aside. BIA appreciates the time and effort all vendors took to prepare proposals for the RFP. Sincerely, Tracy Downing, Esq. Bureau of Indian Affairs 703.390.6474 (direct) 703.390.6582-6562 fax
