Market research indicates that UCSC is the only known vendor that can perform all of the elements to meet the Government's requirements. Period of performance shall be June 10, 2011 through November 30, 2011 plus one option period June 10, 2012 through November 30, 2012. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide services that fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 10 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
