- Description
- JOFOC for Wireless Contract The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a requirement on a sole source basis for Agency Wide telecommunication wireless commodities and services pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) "Only One Responsible Source/a Limited Number of Responsible Sources and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". FEMA intends to issue two bridge hybrid Firm Fixed Price and Time and Material contracts with a period of performance of six (6) months and two (2) three (3) month option periods. This contract is necessary to support FEMA's Agency Wide Telecommunication Program. The period of performance will provide continuity of service to support the delivery of a variety of telecommunication commodities and services in support of emergency and non-emergency operations with minimal disruption while the requirement is re-competed. To ensure completion the re-compete following the bridge procurement will be competed on a full and open basis under FAR Part 12, Commercial Items using FAR Part 15, Contract by Negotiation. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is being done in the interest of efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, being that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. Furthermore, awarding the proposed contract to another source would result in unacceptable delays and substantial costs to the Government, as the new source would require time to develop and skills needed to meet the immediate requirement. Based on the time constraint and expected increase in cost inherent to awarding to another contractor, it is not in the best interest of the Government to award to any contractor beyond the current contractor holders, which are listed below: AT&T Mobility HSFEHQ-09-D-0114 AT&T Mobility HSFEHQ-09-D-0115 AT&T Mobility HSFEHQ-09-D-0116 Verizon Wireless HSFEHQ-09-D-0117 The current contracts are set to expire on April 10, 2015, providing little time to engage in a thorough source selection for the required services. If a source selection were conducted, it would put the Government at risk, in regards to a lapse in service. The Government intends to solicit the required services competitively within the next two months. The primary North American Industry Classification System Code is 517210, "Wired Telecommunication Carriers", with a size standard number of employees of 1,500. A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition is attached.
