- Notice of Intent: NB184000-17-00108 Status: Open Description of Contract Action: APC Extended Factory Warranty & Maintenance Post Date: 11/04/2016 Close Date: 11/07/2016 File Name: NB184000-17-00108 Contact Points: Dennis Fuentes, Contract Specialist (303) 497.5573 Michael Fredericks, Contracting Officer (303) 497-7763 This requirement is conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). This is a notice of intent to negotiate on a sole source basis and is not a request for competitive proposals. Firms who want to challenge the sole source must submit an interest letter that demonstrates your firm's ability to provide an equivalent service as described below. Interested parties must provide rationale as to why they should be considered. All interested firms must respond to this special notice by 07 November 2016, 11:00am, Mountain Time to Dennis M. Fuentes at dennis.fuentes@nist.gov. Responses received will be assessed; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NIST will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information. Description: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate and award on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b) with Critical Facilities Technology, LLC, in Arlington, VA. To perform this service, the contractor must be authorized to provide services, be trained, and be certified as a APC Schneider Electric Technician. The services are intended to provide Factory Warranty service and maintenance. Sole Source determination is based on the market research that shows only one vendor can comply to this critical process that meets all of the NIST technical requirements. Additionally, Schneider Electric will only allow authorized and trained technicians to work on it's products. The NAICS code 811212 - Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance, and the Small Business Size Standard is $27.5M will be used. DELIVERABLES: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure UPS maintenance and support for normal working hours and after hours support (24x7). This contract includes parts and labor, 4-hour maximum response for an emergency UPS issue, and an annual preventative maintenance (PM) inspection by a certified APC by Schneider Electric manufacturer's representative, with a report documenting status for the PM. By maintaining our service/maintenance plan with APC by Schneider Electric, it allows extension of the factory warranty, and ensures that we pay reduced costs for parts / labor needed in the event that any work is required by the vendor while annual maintenance is maintained. This SOW is for the base year 2017 period (11/16/16 - 11/16/17) and 4 option years. The deliverables and service plan items remain the same for each contract period. This approach provides the best continuity of service to both NIST OISM and the service provider. Base period service plan includes: • One-year Advantage Ultra service plan (includes one annual preventative maintenance visit) • One-year technical support 7 days per week, 24 hours per day • One year 4-hour dispatch support 7 days per week, 24 hours per day • Extension of factory warranty for the contract period The contract will be for a base period and four one year options as follows: • Base Period - 11/16/16 - 11/15/17 • Option Period One - 11/16/17 - 11/15/18 • Option Period Two - 11/16/18 - 11/15/19 • Option Period Three - 11/16/19 - 11/15/20 • Option Period Four - 11/16/20 - 11/15/21
