- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 9 (NCO 9) intends to award a sole source contract award to Verizon Wireless, 13100 Columbia Pike, Silver Spring MD. 20904. The Period of Performance for Contract Award will be one (1) twelve (12) month period. This requirement is for wireless voice and data services and associated devices from Verizon Wireless to replace services currently rendered to Veterans Affairs CBOC Master Account 000975488496. In addition to voice and data services, other wireless non-voice and data related services are subject to annual renewal. These services are Global International Roaming, Text/PIX/FLIX Messaging, Tethering, Wireless Priority Service (WPS), and GPS Navigation. Some services are available via the contractor's FSS contract. The devices, which include cellular telephones, push-to-talk cellular devices, smart phones (Blackberry, iPhones, Androids), and mobile broadband devices (Cards, MiFi, Cameras, Tablets, iPads), are not available via the contractor's FSS contract and, therefore, will be incorporated as open market items in accordance with FAR 8.402(f). Due to issues relating to device/network interoperability, device activation, and device pricing, Verizon Wireless is the only vendor capable of providing a comprehensive solution, including access to Verizon Wireless voice and data services, compatible mobile devices, and activation for mobile devices. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification prior to the response due date and time. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to perform the requirements. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the award. Responses are due by October 31, 2012, 12:00 p.m. (EDT). Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to dustin.epperson@va.gov. Telephone requests or inquires will not be accepted.
