- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate with ePCS Support Services, LLC on a sole source basis, using the procedures in FAR Parts 6 and 13. The NOAA Finance Office requires maintenance and support renewal for government-owned Relocation Manager software used by the Accounting Operations Division for processing permanent change of station (PCS) transactions. The award will be a firm fixed price purchase order, with a period of performance from September 30, 2015 through September 29, 2016 for the following items: PCS rate updates, RITA rate updates, and Progress DBMS maintenance. ePCS Support Services is the only party known to NOAA who can meet these requirements since the format of the rate tables structures, RITA rate structures and the load and maintenance process into the Relocation Manager product are proprietary. There are no other firms with knowledge of these proprietary structures and as such the government needs to ensure ongoing support. ePCS has been the exclusive provider of these support services for this particular product. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 541519 with a Small Business Size Standard of $25.0 M. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also be accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the quote meets all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Jackie.Schreckengost@noaa.gov by 9:00 am, Eastern Standard Time, September 24, 2015 and reference NACFOFIN-15-00261 for this requirement. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures. The determination to compete or not compete the proposed order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
