- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Acquisition Operation - Technology Acquisition Center - Austin (TAC-Austin) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Halfaker and Associates upon the basis of the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. TAC-Austin intends to purchase a six-month firm-fixed-price (FFP) effort for hosting and maintaining the VetGov Partner (VGP) portal, implementing enhancements and software patches, and providing end user support and training. After extensive market research, it was determined that Halfaker is the only source with the unique skills and capabilities to ensure the enhancements are developed, tested, and deployed by July 19, 2013. Halfaker is also the only source that can ensure the VGP is hosted and operational, as well as provide training and user support during the conference. Any other source would result in duplication of cost and effort that would not be recovered through competition, in order to understand the current VGP application coding, and develop, test, deploy and train enhancements timely. If another vendor is selected, additional risk would be incurred as the new contractor's staff may not fully understand the intent and context of the complex requirements included in this application. Furthermore, another source would require a steep learning curve of at least 60 days in order to gain familiarity with VGP. 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 by 10:00 AM CST, 13 June 2013, by e-mail to leonard.eddie@va.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete the contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
