- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with SWN Communications, Inc. The National Institutes of Health currently uses the SendWordNow subscription-based service that manages two-way communications during emergency/crisis situations. This subscription can be used to send voice and text messages to the NIH community across all communication devices at any time. In order to avoid any lapse or delay in this service while a new HHS - Wide contract is being implemented, NIH requests to extend these services. For further information, please review the Statement of Work that is attached. Responses The proposed acquisition action is for items and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b). If you believe you can provide the services requested, please forward capability statements to anne.mineweaser@nih.gov referencing notice number NIH-OLAO-OD3-NOI4038720, by COB on December 30, 2015. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract acquisition based upon responses to the notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed. Information provided will be used to assess tradeoffs and alternatives available for the potential requirement and may lead to the development of a solicitation. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. Any solicitation resulting from the analysis of information obtained will be announced to the public in Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with the FAR Part 5. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to a solicitation. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s).
