- Description
- The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) intends to award a sole source task order under the authority of FAR Part 16.505(b)(2)(iii) for Booz Allen Hamilton to provide expert programmatic support for the High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program. The contractor is currently involved in several key activities for FRA that are approaching critical milestones. The first is expert support on the procurement of bi-level equipment for the Midwest states and California. The contractor has supported FRA staff extensively in reviewing and commenting on contract documents and evaluating potential Buy America issues. Final proposals were received on August 24, 2012 and a Notice of Intent to Award is expected in mid-Septemeber 2012. Upon the notice, FRA's contractors will help conduct the pre-award Buy America audit within a very tight 3 - 4 week schedule so the Notice of Award can be made in October 2012. The schedule is critical to meet ARRA deadlines. Related to the bi-level procurement is a locomotive procurement. The contractors are providing similar support to ensure a RFP is issued by the end of 2012 in order to meet ARRA deadlines. Procuring new support and using contractors not involved in these efforts to date would delay these procurements and put hundreds of millions of ARRA funding dollars at risk. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541330. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. Parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability. All capability statements recieved by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on 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. Capability statements shall be submitted by email ONLY as a MS Word of Adobe PDF attachment to corey.scott@dot.gov by the notice closing date.
