- Description
- Notice of Intent NAICS Code: 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services. The US Environmental�Protection Agency (EPA) has a requirement for continuation of services under the current�contract: GS-35F-0255X task order: EP-G15H-01158, as described below. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) uses contactor support as follows: The Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) Application Support contractor�support�s Office of Information Technology Operation (OITO) in furthering the role of the�Service Tracking and Reporting (STAR) and Task Tracking Tool (T3) applications within OITO�and throughout EPA by maintaining their operations and developing additional modules,�features, functionality, and user-interface enhancements. Through the use of STAR and T3, the�overall goal of the project is to integrate OITO�s Working Capital Funds (WCF) services, as well�as various contract vehicles and operational practices that support them, under one umbrella of�unified rules, processes, reporting and shared best practices. The distinct ITSM Application Support to be provided are as follows: Project Management Office Support The operation and maintenance of the STAR and T3 applications Optional Task in support of OITO�s ongoing operations, to include: Change Management Support Purchase of Ancillary Products and Services STAR as a WCF Service The current contract: GS-35F-0255X task order: EP-G15H-01158, period of performance will be�extended for six months, from 05-16-22 to 11-15-22. The Government intends to compete and�award a follow-on contract for a possible one-year base period and four one-year option periods�in accordance with the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR). However, due to delays in the�acquisition process, the contract for follow on services will not be awarded prior to the current�expiration date of 05-15-22 of contract: GS-35F-0255X task order: EP-G15H-01158. Since the�services of the contract are critical and cannot lapse, the EPA must extend the period of�performance of the current contract for an additional six months to allow time for the new�follow-on contract to be awarded. The EPA intends to negotiate this period of performance�extension on a sole source basis. During this extension period, in the short-term, a substantial amount of knowledge transfer�resources would be required to transfer the knowledge and expertise to a new contractor. The use�of a new contractor would require an extensive phase-in period to facilitate the full knowledge�transfer, complete the attainment of personnel and other resources required for contract�execution, and complete the transition of contractual responsibilities. In the short term, use of�another contractor would result in a significant loss of efficiency due to the learning curve of the�new personnel. In the short-term, there are no other contractors that can maintain the required�infrastructure to sustain this effort without any duplication of effort or degradation of support. The intent of this notice alerts the vendor community to the extension of contract: GS-35F-�0255X task order: EP-G15H-01158, and the upcoming opportunity for competition of this�opportunity. This notification alerts all vendors to this action and to determine if any other source(s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation is available. A determination by the Government not to�compete this proposed contract extension based upon responses to this notice is solely within the�discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of�determining whether competition is viable. Responses to this notice should be submitted to the�Contract Specialist, Stacy McAvoy via the following e-mail address (mcavoy.stacy@epa.gov)�within 15 days from the date of this notice.
