- Description
- Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT: The Broadcasting Board of Governors/International Broadcasting Bureau (BBG/IBB), Office of Contracts (CON) located at 330 Independence Ave, SW Washington, D.C. 20237, intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract modification to Mr. Wassim Abdulla, P.O. Box 2000 Ramallah, Palestine. The Contractor is currently providing the services this action covers. The planned sole source modification will allow the Contractor to continue to provide the BBG transmission and monitoring services for IBB's 24-hours FM broadcast services in Hebron, Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah, Palestine because only this Contractor possesses the capabilities to provide the services necessary for the Agency to meet its broadcasting transmission throughout Palestine. This contract modification will include an additional three (3) months period beginning July 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition that is applicable to this procurement is 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(2) which is implemented at FAR 6.302-2 as follows: "When the agency's need is of such an unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals, full and open competition need not be provided for. The nature of the proposed acquisition requires these unique services and supplies to be provided by Mr. Wassim Abdulla in order to continue uninterrupted 24-hour FM BBG Radio Sawa broadcasts in Palestine. BBG could not identify any additional potential sources beyond Mr. Wassim Abdulla who can meet BBG requirement. It has been determined that Mr. Abdulla is the only Contractor capable of and authorized to continue uninterrupted 24-hour FM Radio Sawa transmission in Palestine. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive price proposals. Interested firms must submit a written response that demonstrates their ability to provide the above. Also, interested firms must state how they would fulfill the requirement above and include appropriate documentation describing the number of years they have been providing such services. The written response received from interested firms shall provide sufficient detail to allow for an evaluation by the Government without the need for the submission of additional information. The written response must be submitted to Seneca Belinfontie, Contract Specialist, by Tuesday, September 3, 2015 12:00pm eastern daylight saving time via email at sbelinfo@VOANews.COM. ALL ATTACHMENTS MUST BE SENT IN "PDF FORMAT" AND INCLUDE THE SOLICITATION NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT LINE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TOTAL SIZE OF ALL ATTACHMENTS MUST NOT EXCEED 23MB. Telephone or faxed responses are NOT acceptable and will NOT be considered. Any questions regarding this Notice of Intent shall be in writing and submitted to Seneca Belinfontie, Contract Specialist via e-mail to sbelinfo@VOANews.COM and must include the solicitation number in the subject line. Any determination to compete or not to compete this proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government. This Public Notice is not a RFP, IFB, or RFQ.
