- Description
- The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) intends to issue a sole source contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1 to LibraryWorld, Inc., 100 W San Fernando St. STE 535, San Jose, CA 95113-2327 in the estimated amount of $70,000 (Estimated Nine (9) Month Base Period plus Three (3) Three Month Option Periods) under NAICS Code 511210. DoDEA currently owns and operates the LibraryWorld library automation system. DoDEA will replace this system and its associated software with a new worldwide integrated library automation system that will provide systemwide distribution of resources. DoDEA competed this new requirement and awarded a contract effective 27 September 2010. However, it is anticipated that full implementation of the new system will not be complete until 31 December 2012. Because the current LibraryWorld library automation system contract expires 30 September 2011 and full implementation of the newly competed system is not expected until 31 December 2012, there is a time period for which there is no technical support. This technical support is imperative to the operation of the libraries at DoDEA schools worldwide. The proposed acquisition is to continue the technical support during this time period. The base period of performance represents the minimum time required to maintain the critical operation of the libraries until the full implementation of the competitively awarded contract is complete. DoDEA must continue to use LibraryWorld for the required technical support, because it is the only contractor capable of providing this requirement. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 LibraryWorld is the only responsible source and no other source will satisfy DoDEA's requirement. LibraryWorld is the only source that can support the existing technical support which DoDEA requires for the current system. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties who feel that they possess the capabilities to satisfy this requirement should submit a capability statement demonstrating their abilities to meet this requirement. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Please send your documentation to Julie Brooke by e-mail to julie.brooke@hq.dodea.edu. Documentation should be received within 5 calendar days after the date of publication of this synopsis to be considered by DoDEA. A determination by DoDEA not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
