- Description
- The Federal Communications Commission intends to negotiate solely with DRS SONETICOM, INC., 1045 S JOHN RODES BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL, 32904-2005 under the authority of 41 U.S.C (253)(c)(1) as set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subsection 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements" for continued High Frequency Direction Finding Center (HFDFC) software development, maintenance, and integration services. The subject services are necessary to maintain the operational effectiveness and baseline capabilities of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau's HFDF System. DRS SONETICOM is the incumbent contractor on the current expiring contract for these services. The FCC is planning a competitive acquisition to replace the expiring contract. While we are moving forward with the competitive acquisition to replace the expiring contract, the FCC will continue to need contractor support for the subject mission-critical requirement. Currently, only DRS SONETICOM can provide the highly skilled and expert support services with the necessary technical knowledge and experience without a break in service while the re-compete is underway. No other vendor has the ability to provide the required level of support without the possibility of a lapse in service to the Agency. There are no other contractual vehicles currently available within the Agency to provide the required support in a timely manner. We have concluded that no source other than DRS SONETICOM can satisfy the FCC's needs. A justification required under FAR 6.303 will be posted separately. Interested concerns must show clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. All submissions shall be submitted to the Government by no later than 1400 ET on September 10, 2013. After which time, if no affirmative written responses are received, an award will be made without further notice. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Responses may only be sent via e-mail to the POC listed below. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. **PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.**
