- Description
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division Notice of Intent for Contract Extension This notice is a synopsis in accordance with FAR 5.101 for a proposed contract action to contract SB1341-11-SE-0792 published at least 5 days before the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations and a solicitation will not be issued for this requirement. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, intends to intends to award a modification to the existing non-pre-emptible Ku-band transponder capacity on a geostationary communications satellite service under contract SB1341-11-SE-0792 for the period of July 27, 2016 to November 26, 2016 in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services under the authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Agency requirements awarded to Ritenet Corp. The contract period of performance was initially for a base year plus four option periods. FAR 52.217-8 was not evaluated at the time of award. The FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services was included in the initial solicitation NB688000-11-01476 originally synopsized May 25, 2011, as well as the original issuance of the contract SB1341-11-SE-0792 effective July 27, 2011. Exercise of the Option is in the best interest of the Government and is the most advantageous method of fulfilling the Agency's need for these services. The 4 month extension is intended to be awarded to Ritenet Corp. under FAR 6.302-1 when it is likely that award to any other source would result in (A) substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, and (B) unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. The expected modification date for the current contract for the extension is no later than January 6, 2016, effective July 27, 2016. Interested parties who can demonstrate they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST must clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to chendra.conklin@nist.gov. All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at chendra.conklin@nist.gov no later than 2:00 pm MST Tuesday, January 5, 2016.
