- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c) (1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Reference Number is F1M3B23282AC01. The 628th Contracting Squadron (CONS), 101 E. Hill Blvd., Joint Base Charleston (JBCH), SC intends to award a sole source contract for service and maintenance for the AT&T owned cable on JBCH-Weapons Station (WS). The 628 CONS intends to make an award to Bellsouth Telecommunication, Inc. 2180 Lake Blvd, Atlanta, GA, 30319-6004 doing business as AT&T. Market research was performed and information gathered has determined this company to be the only source for this requirement due to proprietary ownership of the cabling and equipment. In accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 5.207(c) (16) (ii), the proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals; however responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. FAR 52.232-18 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS - Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government's obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer The justification for the sole source requirements as follows: In accordance with FAR 6.303-2: (1) Agency and Activity: Agency-628 CONS, Activity-628th Communications Squadron (2) Nature of action being approved: Sole source acquisition. (3) The purpose of this acquisition is to provide all management, tools, equipment, and labor necessary to perform telecommunications Outside Cable Plant maintenance services to approximately 188 buildings on JBCH-WS for a period of 2 months. (4) Justification Rationale: IAW FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) the required services are available from only one responsible source. (5) Demonstration of Unique Qualifications: AT&T is the only entity able to provide the required service due to their proprietary rights to the cabling and equipment. (6) Description of Solicitation Efforts: PER FAR 5.202-(a)(13) previous notice synopsized actions were not taken. (7) The contracting officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable based upon a comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, and with the governments independent estimate. (8) Description of market research: Eight NETCENTS contractors were solicited, however the incumbent contractor and owner of existing cable equipment, AT&T, will not permit other sources to have access or rights to their cable equipment (9) Other supporting facts: AT&T is the current contractor and any attempt to solicit another source would not be cost effective to the government. (10) Interested Sources: No sources have expressed any interest in the acquisition. (11) Actions to prevent barriers that may lead to restricted consideration in the future: Continue to survey the market for alternate sources. (12) This justification is accurate and complete to the best of the contracting officer's knowledge and belief.
