- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT FOR APPLICATION SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE FOR THE WATERFRONT ONLINE APPLICATION This Notice is issued in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 5.2, Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), Acquisition Operations Branch, is the contracting office for this procurement. The purpose of this Notice is to announce the government's intent to issue a sole source contract with Ithaca Clean Energy, in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b). The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Office of Public Affairs, supporting Office of Renewable Energy for Atlantic projects needs to communicate with constituents that may be impacted from BOEM proposed actions. BOEM employs a variety of tools to accomplish this goal but communication with the fishing community has remained a challenge. BOEM believes that the �Waterfront� application developed and maintained by Ithaca Clean Energy, Inc is a unique communication tool that would improve communication to this group. Ithaca Clean Energy, Inc is the sole creator and provider of the Waterfront application which has been identified as an innovative system necessary for communications between developers, federal government activities announcements, and the fishing community. No other similar product is known to exist that will allow all subscribers to communicate the necessary information between entities in a timely, accurate application system. As a result, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), anticipates on awarding a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order to Ithaca Clean Energy. BOEM has a requirement to purchase application subscription services and maintenance for the Waterfront online application as required by the BOEM Public Affairs Office in support of the Office of Renewable Energy Program activities and stakeholder engagement. The period of performance for this Purchase Order shall be from twelve months from date of award with two (2) twelve (12) month Option Periods. This purchase is estimated to be under the simplified acquisition purchase threshold. The anticipated place of performance is the contractor's facility. In accordance with the FAR 13.106-1 (b) there is only one responsible source known, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The contractor, Ithaca Clean Energy holds proprietary rights to the application and its annual maintenance and is not offered through any resellers or distributors. This is a new application and BOEM will determine its efficacy for stakeholder engagement, developer communications between stakeholders and government entities, and particularly fishermen. PLEASE NOTE: This notice is not a request for quote (RFQ). However, any firm that believes itself capable of meeting the requirement described herein may submit a capability statement or quotation which may be considered if received by the agency by 4:00 p.m. ET on 17 September 2022. All submissions in response to this notice must be submitted in writing via email to the Contracting Officer at william.rilee@bsee.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete the Governments Requirements described in this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
