- Description
- Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), with Motorola Solutions, Inc., ("Motorola") U.S. Federal Government Markets Division, 7031 Columbia Gateway Drive, 3rd Floor, Columbia, MD 21046, under RFQ182612B772. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 811213, Communication Equipment Repair and Maintenance; the size standard is 750 employees. The FBI's existing land mobile radio (LMR) infrastructure, manufactured and built by Motorola, dates back to the early 1980s. The FBI's LMR infrastructure employs a unique encoding design proprietary to Motorola. The FBI uses Motorola equipment spanning several generations for its radio system communications that requires hybrid components also unique to the LMR infrastructure and includes Motorola's proprietary encoding design. Motorola Solutions, Inc. will upgrade and perform maintenance and repair FBI owned existing LMR infrastructure equipment to include all types and generations of Motorola Solutions, Inc. equipment. Based on market research conducted, it has been determined the FBI's requirement for the referenced services can only be provided by Motorola Solutions, Inc. In order to maintain the warranty agreement for the originally procured equipment, having services rendered by any other company would void the present warranty agreement and subject the government to potentially unwarranted additional expenses. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office no later than Friday, February 1, 2013, 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time (EST), by email, to the attention of Robert Coulter, Contract Specialist, at Robert.Coulter@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Contracting Officer for this requirement is Margaret D. Einspahr.
