- Description
- ELSG/PNK formally announces the intent to award a sole source task order FA8734-08-D-0006 to Government Retirement and Benefits, Inc. (GRB) for approximately $5.2M; basic 3 month performance period and four-1 year options. To meet mission requirements, the objective of this acquisition is to provide each of the current Consortium agencies the license/subscription to use the EBIS II web based product. Current membership include; US Air Force, US Army, US Navy, DLA, WHS, EoP, DODEA, DFAS, DISA, and DCAA. This acquisition is to deploy leading edge technical solutions to improve human resource functionality and efficiency.The integrated Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) - Employee Benefits Information System (EBIS) data software subscription is used in support of the IVRS-EBIS Consortium. Support requires the continuation (renewal) of the current EBIS II license and maintenance support. Justifications for this follow-on contract is FAR 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. These services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of an anticipated follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly proprietary services. The period of time required to perform a source selection for a new contractor would cause an unacceptable schedule delay in fulfilling the agency's requirements for support of license and maintenance support and a substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition due to no other contractors having access or rights to the proprietary data necessary to support this requirement. The basic period of performance is approximately 3 months and 4 one year options. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all interested persons that identify to the contracting officer their intent and capabilities to satisfy the government's requirement with commercial services items and are received within 15 days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Award will be made only if the offeror, the product/service or the manufacturer meets qualifications requirements at the time of award, in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1 or 52.209-2. An ESC Ombudsman has been appointed to consider and facili! tate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. Before consulting the ombudsman concerned parties should first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.
