- Description
- NASA intends to award a sole-source contract extension to Siemens Communications, Inc. pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA's GSFC) Information Technology and Communications Directorate (ITCD). This procurement is to extend contract number NAS5-02032 for a period of up to 6 months from September 30, 2007 through March 31, 2008 and increase the maximum ordering value in order to allow sufficient time to award the follow-on procurement. ITCD is currently finalizing their technical requirements in order to go forward with the most efficient and effective set of technical requirements for follow-on to the current Telecommunications Maintenance and Operations Support Services contract. This extension is necessary to allow sufficient time for the competitive follow-on procurement. This extension will allow for a continuation of current task orders issued, for modifications to existing task orders, and for new work until the Telecommunications Maintenance and Operations Support Services follow-on contract is awarded. The contract extension and maximum ordering value increase are necessary in order to ensure program continuity and critical mission support and to avoid significant technical and programmatic impacts to GSFC. The current contractor provides the following highly specialized mission critical services to NASA's GSFC ITCD: Responsibility for the continued day-to-day operation and maintenance support for the ITS which consists of six (6) Siemens Hicom 300 H Version 1 System Communications Servers, Phonemail, Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), Interactive Voice Response(IVR) System, Hicom Domain Management System (HDMS) Modular, Information Management System (Comsoft), and the Uninterruptible Power System (UPS); relocating existing equipment; performing new installations; providing new system design, testing and documentation, cable plant, and maintenance of ITS related data bases at GSFC. At the Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), Wallops Island, VA site, the current contractor is responsible for continued day-to-day operation and maintenance support for two (2) Siemens Hicom 300 H Version 1 Communication Servers (one located at the Main Base and the other located at Wallops Island), Phonemail, HDMS, the Information Management System (Comsoft) and the UPS. Due to the time and substantial duplication of costs involved in procuring and phasing in another contractor, Siemens is considered the only contractor capable of meeting NASA's GSFC needs given the short period of performance for the extension. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:00 PM. local time on August 20, 2007. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below.
