- Description
- The U.S Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) hereby issues this notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Fibergate Inc. for the continued maintenance of existing dark fiber optic communications. This is a contract for a period of performance with a base period of one year, plus 4 one year option periods. The purpose of this sole source action is the continued operations and maintenance of existing FiberGate dark fiber optic communications infrastructure among multiple FDA metropolitan DC area locations. The objective of this requirement is to maintain existing Fibergate's and maintain reinstated existing dark fiber optic in cases, when due to an adjustment to FDA schedules and the movement of FDA- personnel to/from FDA's existing facilities, service was ceased; but it becomes necessary to commence use of the fiber optic communications. This contract will be for the operations and maintenance of existing fibers currently leased by the Government from FiberGate Inc. FiberGate Inc. is the owner and sole provider for the subject fiber cables. Replacing FiberGate may create a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements for development and maintenance of these applications. The NAICS code is 517110. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; no solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, sources may submit descriptive literature, fully documenting their capability to perform these services, which will be considered by the agency. A determination to compete this procurement based on response(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is anticipated that award may issued to FiberGate Inc. within approximately 20 days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that any other organization has the capability to meet this requirement. All responses must be received by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 26, 2010 to the attention of Tamara Williams, tamara.williams@fda.hhs.gov.
