- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure on a sole source basis and under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, with KT Consulting Inc., Antioch, California, for scientific and technical support services. NIST has a requirement for the extension of an existing bridge Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, number SB1341-10-CQ-0007, with KT Consulting Inc. and the increase of the ceiling amount of the bridge contract. The current period of performance of the contract is from September 8, 2010 through April 8, 2011. NIST intends on extending the period of performance through October 31, 2011. The current ceiling amount on the contract is $8,000,000.00. NIST intends on increasing the ceiling amount from $8,000,000.00 by $3,000,000.00 to $11,000,000.00. This modification will allow for continuity of services that are critical to the NIST mission. The work to be provided is the performance of scientific and technical support services as detailed in the current Statement of Work of the contract. The extension of the bridge contract to KT Consulting Inc. is needed because they are the only contractor who can continue the related services without delay of support to allow the Government enough time to properly complete a competitive 8(a) solicitation for a new contract vehicle. KT Consulting Inc. is currently providing these services, and there is no transition time available for any learning curve which would eliminate the related additional costs. The extension of the current contract is the most streamlined and efficient method possible, and is essential to the NIST mission. A solicitation package will not be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider other responses received by the given deadline. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement for this modification. All responses to this notice shall be submitted so that they are received electronically at michael.szwed@nist.gov and at keith.bubar@nist.gov no later than February 28, 2011 at 5:00 pm.
