- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ACTION CODE: <PRESOL> CLASSIFICATION CODE: 334210 - Carrier equipment (i.e., analog, digital), telephone, manufacturing SUBJECT: Siemens telephone services, maintenance, and refurbished telephone equipment SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB185000-11-00256 RESPONSE DATE: November 28, 2011 CONTACT POINTS: Willie W. Lu, Contract Specialist, 301-975-8259 Chon Son, Contracting Officer, 301-975-8567 DESCRIPTION: The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR subpart 6.302-1, with Siemens Enterprise Communications, Inc. The IDIQ award will include maintenance, on-site tech support, moves/adds/changes (MAC), and telecommunications system enhancements for new and existing Siemens brand name equipment. In addition, the IDIQ contract will allow the procurement of Siemens brand name telephones (refurbished), and ancillary equipment. The telephone system at NIST encompasses the multiple digital/analog switching system and all peripheral phones. The system is proprietary to Siemens, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The OEM maintains all records of the NIST PBX system and licenses and possess knowledge that is critical to ensure seamless operation and minimal down time. The current Maintenance Support Services Contract for the telephone system includes the repair and installation of telephones and ancillary equipment and is provided solely by the OEM. Under the terms of the Maintenance Support Services Contract, the OEM will install and warranty Siemens Certified equipment, and if defective equipment is identified, will order and install a replacement the next business day at no additional cost to the Government. Additionally, to ensure that there is no compromise to performance, operation, or maintenance of the Telephone System, it is critical that all telephones and ancillary equipment be Siemens tested and Siemens Certified. Pertinent items such as system cards must be the latest version of firmware for chipsets on the cards, and telephones must be refurbished with Siemens Repair Kit and new components. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334210, and the size standard is 1,000 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested persons may clearly and unambiguously identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) on November 28, 2011. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Willie.Lu@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. The determination whether to compete the proposed acquisition 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 in the future.
