Description

May 15, 2019: Justification & Approval (J&A) - For Other Thank Full And Open Competition (FAR Part 6.302) The purpose of this notification is to post a redacted copy of approved J&A that supports the extension of Contract No. HM0177-14-C-0012 as a sole source award. This extension serves as an transition period while the current contract is being re-competed, awarded, and all contractor staff is processed and cleared through NGA's security. May 3, 2019: 1. Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regaulation (FAR) 6.302-1, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source modification to an existing Contract No. HM)177-14-C-0012 with MAF Interpreting, Incorporated, 4523 Cheltenham Drive, Bethesda, MD 20814-4601, to continue providing interpreting services for the hearing impaired in support of the Rehabilition Act of 1973, as amended, in Title V, Section 501, which provides reasonable accommodations for employees with a disability. The current requirements provides services to NGA's employees through the following means: *Daily On-Site Services (DOS) *Dedicated Interpreters *Intermittent Interpreting Services *Temporary Duty Assignments *Deployments The current contract expires on June 29, 2019. This action will extend the period of performance for the existing contract for a total of 6 months to December 30, 2019. 2. The sole source modification to the existing contract will provide interpreting services at both NGA Campuses East and West, Arnold, MO, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, OH, and outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). Additionally, provision for transition will be included to facilitate a smooth transition to the follow-on contract. 3. MAF Interpreting, Inc. is the only vendor who can provide the required level of support necessary to avoid operational impacts to the vast user community. MAF possesses the current skills, experience, and clearances to continue operations in various locations. Their support personnel are currently in place with the appropriate skills and experience which makes them the most risk averse and cost effective solution for this extension period. Any changes in Contractor prior to award of a follow-on contract would impact services in the locations mentionedabove and introduces additional risk to our customer base and degrades their operational effectiveness. 4. This notice of intent is being published in accordance with FAR 5.2 requiring the dissemination of information on proposed contract actions. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the highly specialized supplies or services are available from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Further, award of this requirement to a different source would result in an unacceptable delay in fulfilling the agency's requirements. 5. This notice of intent is not a requestion for competitve proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability in response to the requirement. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses tot this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. 6. The Government will issue a Justification and Approval (J&A) to support the need for a sole source award. The J&A will be posted to the GPE at http://www.fedbizopps.gov 7 days after award of the modification.
