Description

NOTICE OF INTENT FOR PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2, James J. Peters VA Medical Center, Bronx New York, intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C 253(c) (1) - FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to QProQ Engineering, Inc. 187 N Main Street, Wilkes Barre, PA 18702-4425. QProQ is to continue with the provision of constructing project design updates. Place of performance: VA New York Harbor Healthcare System, Brooklyn Campus, 800 Poly Place, Brooklyn, New York 11209-7104. Period of Performance: The period of performance is 60 calendar days from award notice. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals; interested parties may express their interest by providing a capabilities statement no later than Monday November 27, 2017 at 2:00 PM EST. The capabilities statement must provide clear and unambiguous evidence to substantiate the capability of the party to provide the required services. A determination not to compete this proposed contract upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. If after Monday November 27, 2017 at 2:00 PM EST, no viable responses have been received in response to this announcement, Department of Veterans Affairs shall negotiate solely with QProQ Engineering, Inc. The government believes that the below described services (please see the SOW) cannot be provided by another firm within a timely, practical and cost efficient manner. QProQ Engineering was the original A/E on record and had been performing the AE services for this project. However, the previous project that it was connected to was cancelled. QProQ has knowledge of the construction and design for seamless design integration. The VA needs to continue with this project, and QProQ Engineering, Inc. has unique capabilities to provide the government s requirement within a timely, practical and cost efficient manner. The government believes that it would be highly unusual for another design professional to take on the aforementioned responsibilities, which are generally incidental to an overall agreement for preparation of plans and specification. This notice of intent to award a sole source contract is not a request for competitive proposal. There will be no solicitation available for competitive proposal. Phone calls will not be accepted. The point of contact for this action is Sharon Pierce, Contracting Officer at Sharon.Pierce@va.gov. The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed- price contract.
