- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to purchase broadcast fax services on a sole-source basis from Vocus, Inc., 4296 Forbes Blvd., Lanham, MD 20706. The authority for this acquisition is set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), which states that for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Vocus provides broadcast fax services that fulfill the following SSA requirements: •· * Operates in conjunction with Vocus's Public Relations (VPR) software; and •· * Releases correspondence (press releases, letters, etc.) from the VPR via e-mail, broadcast fax, and paper letters to any contact that's stored in the VPR's database. Any vendor capable of performing the preceding requirements must present electronic/written evidence of such capability. The evidence must include a discussion of how the software would satisfy the proposed requirements, contact information for no more than 3 customer references, and, if applicable, associated GSA Schedule price information. The Government will neither pay for information received nor provide evaluation results to the sender. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice does not constitute a solicitation for offers. This is not a request for quotation. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, SSA will proceed with sole source negotiations. All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted in writing to Joanna.Lobl@ssa.gov by Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Telephone calls regarding this matter will not be accepted, nor will they be returned.
