Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters (HQ) plans to extend the Protective Services Contract NNH17CF00C with Diversified Protection Corporation on a sole source basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, ""Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements�. �This current contract is firm fixed price hybrid core and indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ). The purpose of this contract is to provide uniformed security officers to perform tasks such as: responding to emergencies; enforcing NASA regulations; conducting personnel, vehicular, building and facility checks and inspections; access control; package and parcel inspection; crowd control; parking and traffic control; patrolling public areas; staffing gates; observing and reporting fires, water leaks, environmental threats, and other hazards; locking and unlocking buildings and rooms; safeguarding other sensitive/available assets; and escorting persons and equipment. The Contractor shall manage and operate the physical, mechanical, and electronic/IT systems used to control access throughout NASA HQ. The Contractor shall provide a full range of locksmith services including lock and key management, data control, installation, and repair of locks and locking devices both mechanical and electronic, performing emergency openings, setting, and changing combinations, fabricating, and issuing keys, issuing and controlling padlocks, and maintaining work order information. The extension will extend the period of performance of the current contract NNH17CF00C for a period up to eight months through June 30, 2023. There will be an increase in value as a result of the extension. The current contractor, Diversified Protection Corporation, is considered the only contractor that can meet NASA HQ needs given the short period of the extension. Failure to extend the contract would result in disruption of critical emergency services support at HQ. The emergency services provided under the contract are required for the protection of the Government property, life and safety. Awarding an eight-month contract to another source, at the same time as the competition of the follow-on is in process, would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the government�s requirements and not allow for a sufficient phase-in period, thereby effecting continuity of critical emergency services. This special notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform this effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on September 1, 2022. Such capabilities/qualifications 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 compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. Questions regarding the extension can be sent via email to Jonnelle.C.Goff@nasa.gov. All responsible sources may submit their capabilities/qualifications which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/ombuds/contact.htm
