- Description
- This is a pre-solicitation notice for release of the RFP for Phase 2 of the IWN Procurement. The government is conducting a competitive, three-phase acquisition on behalf of the Integrated Wireless Network (IWN) Joint Program Office (JPO), representing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). The IWN will provide secure, seamless, interoperable, and reliable nationwide wireless communications in support of the Federal Agents and Officers engaged in law enforcement, protective services, homeland defense, and disaster response missions of the DHS, DOJ and Treasury. The period of performance for this acquisition will be a base period of five years, with an additional five-year option. A Phase 1 Advisory Downselect has been conducted and the Government has advised each respondent in writing either that it has been invited to participate in Phase 2 of the acquisition or, based on the information submitted, that it is unlikely to be a viable competitor. Notwithstanding the advice provided by the government, vendors identified as unlikely to be viable competitors, as well as other offerors, may still participate in Phase 2 as long as they recognize the inherent risks of doing so. As a result of the Phase 2 competition, the Government anticipates that it will award IDIQ contracts to two responsible offerors whose proposals represent the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to award a third contract based on whether that proposal offers value to the government. The IDIQ contractors will receive firm fixed price task orders for design of the first service area as part of Phase 3 of the acquisition. The government reserves the right to award one contract at the end of the Phase 2 competition to a single IWN contractor if there is only one acceptable proposal. Please see the website at http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/iwn/index.html for more detailed information pertaining to this procurement. The solicitation and all associated documents will be electronically issued and may be accessed on www.fedbizopps.gov on or about January 4, 2005.
