- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The government intends to make a sole source award to Comcast Cable Corporation for Basic Expanded Cable Service for VAMC Memphis. This notice is informational only and is neither a request for quote nor a solicitation for proposals. Responses received may be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must contain detailed information and must show clear and convincing evidence not-later-than 2:00 pm CST on August 25, 2014 that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates the ability to meet the agency's needs. Information can be sent to carlos.suggs@va.gov. Comcast Cable Corporation is currently providing basic expanded cable service for VAMC Memphis, Tennessee. Comcast Cable Corporation currently provides twenty-four (24) hour/three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year basic expanded cable service for three hundred forty (340) televisions, and two (2) direct path DSL lines to the two (2) union offices already in place at VAMC Memphis. These services include all labor, materials, equipment, quality control, transportation expenses, and supervision. Additionally, installation of the current cabling being utilized was performed by Comcast Cable Corporation. Substantial duplication of cost to the Government is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements would occur. Under the authority FAR Part 6.302-1(2), the procurement of items through other than full and open competition is allowed; applicable when "only one source is capable of responding due to the unique or specialized nature of the work." Comcast Cable Corporation is the only known local source available to satisfy this current need.
