- Description
- NAICS Code: 334220 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, intends to award a sole source purchase order to the current provider, The Satellite Center Inc. located in Florence, KY forthe continuation of Direct TV services and the installation of additional receivers to EPA's National Decontamination Team (NDT) facility located in Erlanger, KY. The NDT provides scientific, engineering and technical expertise to the hazardous materials response community. The Erlanger facility also serves as a COOP location for the EPA in Cincinnati. To support these two functions effectively, the facility must be able to monitor activities on a national basis. To accomplish this task, the NDT requires satellite television service at the Erlanger facility. To meet this need, in 2007, EPA requested competitive bids for installation of equipment and satellite television service for the Erlanger facility. Satellite Center Inc. was the successful bidder which furnished and installed equipment including dishes, receivers, cables, splitters, switches, etc. for standard definition receivers in twelve of the offices located within the facility. This enabled the Erlanger office to begin receiving programming services. Satellite Center Inc, also activated and provided subscription for monthly Direct TV satellite programming, customer education, troubleshooting assistance for problems encountered with service for all installed equipment to users. The existing equipment includes dishes, receivers, cables, splitters, switches, etc. for standard definition receivers in twelve offices within the EPA Erlanger, KY location. This service is used daily. Competing these requirements and potentially awarding to an alternative source would not prove in the Government's best interest or prove a best value to the Government. To do this would cause undue hardship to the agency and the community and would require removal of existing equipment and the installation of new equipment and service. Uninterrupted service is essential to meeting the needs of the emergency response community and re-installation of equipment and service could cause significant down time during National Security Events which would render the facility incapable of meeting the Agency's homeland security mission. If there are any other potential sources who could provide the same services without the further installation of new equipment, uninterrupted service and additional expense to the Government, submit your capability statement via email to the US Environmental Protection Agency c/o Elaine Scott at scott.elaine@epa.gov no later than 2PM, EST February 3, 2009. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE!!
