- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, National Capital Region, Washington, DC intends to issue a sole source contract in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 for a performance period of December 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012. The current contract, set to expire November 30, 2011, provides event management services for the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. GSA is in the process of awarding a new contract, but needs additional time to finalize the purchase. Therefore, this sole source extension is necessary to bridge the gap between the current contract and the new award, thereby ensuring the overlap of contract performance required for the achievement of a smooth transition and continuous high-level service. Description of the work to be performed: The contractor is to assist the Government in making the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium available to the public under the Public Buildings Cooperative Use Act of 1976. The contractor is required to advertise the auditorium, book event requests, and provide event-related coordination and services. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as cited in FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." This extension is issued to facilitate continuation of services. A lapse in service will have a highly detrimental effect on the ability of the public to utilize the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. This extension will provide services without disruption for event management by a vendor that already has significant experience and expertise in administering the contract. The incumbent contractor is fully capable of continuing to perform for the additional two-month performance period. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, as no solicitation package will be issued. However, if a firm believes it can meet these requirements within the prescribed time frame, it may give notification via email to Robert Lawrence, Contract Officer, at robert.lawrence@gsa.gov. Contracting Office Address: Robert Lawrence General Services Administration Public Buildings Service 301 7th Street SW, Room 7725 Washington, DC 20407
