- AMENDMENT 1 - The purpose of this amendment is to extend the due date for proposals through October 15, 2013 5p.m. eastern time. The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain government-owned Video Teleconferencing and Support Services (VTSS). The Contractor shall provide maintenance on VTSS for the current Video Teleconferencing (VTC) infrastructure and additional hardware and video projects driven by the agency. The Small Business Administration (SBA) accepted the agency's offer to conduct this anticipated acquisition under the 8(a) Small Business Development Program exclusively as an 8(a) competition. We anticipate conducting a competition amongst 8(a) firms pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.2, Full and Open Competition After Exclusion of Sources, and Subpart 19.8, Contracting with the Small Business Administration (the 8(a) Program). Our intent is to award a single Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quality (ID/IQ)-type contract with firm-fixed price (FFP) from this competition. Furthermore, we anticipate an ordering period, from November 2013 through November 2019. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 517979, Telecommunications - All Other Telecommunications, with a size standard of $30 million. The applicable FAR references that we believe will govern this proposed acquisition include FAR Part 12, acquisition of commercial items; Part 15, contract by negotiation; Subpart 16.5, Indefinite-Delivery contracts; Subpart 17.2, options as a special contracting method; and under the authority of FAR Part 19.8, Contracting with the SBA. We intend to issue a solicitation for these services under RFP Number SSA-RFP-14-1005 within approximately one week from the issuance of this notice. Interested parties must respond to the RFP in order for the agency to consider them for any resultant contract. Once available, the agency will make the RFP and any related documents for this procurement available to interested parties through electronic media for downloading via the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) website, located at http://www.fbo.gov. THE AGENCY WILL NEITHER MAKE HARD COPIES OF THE RFP AVAILABLE, NOR ACCEPT ANY TELEPHONE CALLS IN REFERENCE TO THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE.
