- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) intends to award a sole source contract to Clear Channel Satellite Services of Centennial, CO for Nomadic System Management, Support, and Services. The period of performance for this contract will be October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006 with two option years. NRCS intends to award a contract by other than full and open competition in accordance with Subpart 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A)(B). A determination was made not to compete this proposal because this will be a follow-on contract to a previous pilot contract for the acquisition of nomadic units, which is a self contained system that provides wireless two-way, high speed network connectivity to the USDA backbone network via VSAT (satellite) and Digital TV (DTV). Clear Channel Satellite Services was the vendor providing the above equipment and services and has already installed their proprietary equipment/software and are providing the service. Also, since this equipment is already installed, awarding this contract to another source would result in substantial additional costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and would incur unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirements. The contract will also provide project management and operation, network service, maintenance and support services, bandwidth service, use of vendor?s network, network management, Internet Protocol connectivity services, interconnect facility, project/ implementation management, installation of equipment and software, training, ongoing support, and on-site maintenance. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available.
