- Description
- The General Services Administration, Region 2, AAS, New York intends to award a sole source bridge task order under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 ©(1), FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), ‘only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements’. The authority cited is for the materials portion of the requirement. The labor portion of the requirement will be procured under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) which authorizes the limiting of sources when ‘in the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original GSA Federal Supply Schedule order, provided that the original order was placed in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. The GSA bridge task order will be awarded to URS Federal Services, 20501 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876. The requirement is for the existing integration, modification and maintenance services for critical aviation platforms and support equipment for the US Army Communications Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) Flight Activity (CFA). The bridge task order will be put in place to provide services until the acquisition of a US Army based re-competition is completed. The GSA bridge task order will consist of a six month period of performance. The FAR clause 52.217-8 ‘Option to Extend Services’ will be included in the task order. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 488190, Other Support Activities for Air Transportation. On Feb 4, 2013, the CERDEC Flight Activity requested GSA to award a bridge task order to prevent an interruption in service until CERDEC is ready to award their contract described in a Federal Opportunities Synopsis notice on 19 Nov 2012 by the US Army CERDEC for Army solicitation number W15P7T13RA205. No other source can provide the continued level of support without a major impact on the CERDEC Flight Activity, located at Lakehurst Naval Air Station, NJ. The Incumbent Contractor - URS, Inc. has existing resources and extensive knowledge in providing the unique and specialized services required. The incumbent contractor has a qualified and cleared workforce capable of providing services with no delays or performance risk. In summary, the purpose of the GSA bridge task order and contract value increase is to provide continuous, uninterrupted support services while the Army is in the process of solicitation and award. The Army CERDEC expects award by August 2013. This Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source is not a request for competitive proposals nor does its issuance obligate or restrict the Government on its eventual acquisition approach. Phone calls will not be accepted. There is no solicitation document and no Request for Proposals will be issued. Responses should be addressed to Eleanor.Lincoln@gsa.gov. All information received from this notice shall be used for planning and market research purposes only. The determination to refrain from competing this proposed task order based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
