- Description
- Sole Source Justification for DTMA91Q1600026 This is a notice of intent to issue a sole source award to Harmonic International, Inc. This proposed award is for the continuation of services needed to provide the Maritime Administration with timely, efficient, and expert project management knowledge and skills to implement a range of communication services to plan, conduct, evaluate, and document communications results for the official release of the National Maritime Strategy (NMS). As part of the current contract, Harmonic International, Inc. has conducted a historical data review, vision/mission review, communications review, media review and extensive top-level qualitative research with over 75 industry stakeholders, congressional staff and industry thought leaders. Due to this accumulated knowledge the contractor possesses unique capabilities and it is likely that an award to any other company would result in "substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or competition would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements". This award will include (1) development of a NMS Library of Visuals and Video, (2) NMS/ MARAD style guide, (3) NMS PowerPoint Presentation, (4) NMS Website Design and Landing pages concept, (5) NMS Communications Activities Assistance, (6) NMS Press Conference planning, (7) NMS Design, Layout and Graphics Production, and (8) NMS Meeting Management and Planning Services. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. It has been determined that Harmonic International Inc. 10 E Lee St. Suite 2704, Baltimore, MD 21202 is the only organization capable of meeting these requirements. The Government does not intend to submit a solicitation for proposals. This is not a request for quotes. The Government shall not be liable for any costs incurred for any technical information provided. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement by emailing their capability statement to Wilbur.Turner@dot.gov no later than 12:00 noon local time on June 17, 2016. Capability statements include documentation establishing the ability to satisfy the Government's requirements. Any information received will be considered for the purpose of conducting a competitive procurement. Interested parties should identify their interest and capability to the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If you have questions, you may contact Wilbur Turner, Contracting Officer, by email Wilbur.Turner@dot.gov or phone 202-366-0700
