Description

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announces its intention to negotiate and issue a sole source award to�R3, LLC to�upgrade the Wi-Fi system at the Sample Storage Facility�in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Comcast is the internet provider at the storage facility. Comcast does not provide service to upgrade and monitor Wi-Fi network. To provide this functionality Comcast partnered with R3 here in the DC Metro area. R3 as a partner has direct access to the top tier support teams when issues arise. All other contractors would have to go through the normal troubleshooting efforts and be escalated the same as an outside customer of theirs. This can cause large delays as the process usually entails waiting for call backs from escalations which can take days. R3�bypasses all of this with theirs connections to the support teams greatly minimizing the troubleshooting time and resolution to issues.��� CPSC intends to negotiate this requirement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)1. The sole source procurement will be awarded as a simplified acquisition in accordance with FAR Subpart 12 & FAR Subpart 13 procedures. �Interested persons may identify their interest and submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet this requirement.�� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within�seven (7) business days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. �A determination by the government not to compete this proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. �Any quotation/response must be in writing and can be sent via email to the Contract Specialist at dbraswell@cpsc.gov by 11am Eastern Time�July 22, 2020. No phone calls will be accepted.��
