- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with LEARN: Lonestar Education and Research Network to provide services to support the Trusted Internet Connection Access Point (TICAP ) which includes commodity Internet access and Internet2 Research and Education Network access. Services currently provided to NWS Southern Region Headquarters will be migrated to the TICAP 2.0 installation within the coming year. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) knowledge that as a Regional Optical Network (RON) or GigaPop, LEARN is the only provider of Internet2 access supporting scientific and research customers in the Texas region. The period of performance is from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 with options to add installations of cross connection from LEARN to Internet2 suite as needed. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the service that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
