- Description
- This is a modification to a Special Notice which was published on August 04, 2006. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), NIH, intends to negotiate with the Logical Technical Services (LTS) Corporation under the Authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), for a modification to the work under Contract No. HHSN266200500006C, awarded as a small business set-aside for the period of 03/01/2005 through 02/28/2010. The negotiated modification will cover a period of 45 months. The proposed modification will accommodate moving LTS staff, as well as other contractor personnel from NIAID space to adjoining space within the same building. The new space will not only house personnel, but will also provide space for service to systems and equipment which are utilized in performance of the contract, and, will also be used for data center consolidation (currently performed under the contract) and an information technology data center (also currently performed under the contract). The nature of the work requires contractor staff to interact with NIAID personnel and NIAID owned IT equipment continuously throughout the day and the adjacent space is considered essential. The leased space will require networking/cabling refurbishment to accommodate computers, copiers and office equipment. The proposed modification to provide the additional leased space is necessary as the NIAID space is at capacity and can no longer effectively house contractor personnel. It is not anticipated that another contractor could provide adjacent space to NIAID for the purpose of providing facilities for existing NIAID contract staff, equipment, and work product. If the proposed modification were to be awarded to another contractor at this time, the consequential interruption in the operation of the Division of Extramural Activities would result in unacceptable delays. Therefore, LTS Corporation is uniquely qualified to continue to fulfill these requirements by virtue of their performance on the current contract and no other services will satisfy Agency requirements. Offerors who submit capability statements must demonstrate their ability to assume the work without undue interruption to the support currently being provided to the NIAID and without unnecessary duplication of cost and effort. If there are responsible sources who feel that they are able to perform the requirement, they must respond by submitting the information required by Numbered Note 22 on/before the closing date noted in this announcement. See Government-wide Numbered Notes 22 and 26. No collect calls will be accepted.
