- Synopsis:� Notice of Intent to Award a Sole-Source Contract Announcement Number: NCNP0000-23-01637 Project Title: Purchase and Installation of New Audio-Visual (AV) Hardware The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office for Coastal Management (OCM)-Charleston, SC office, Simplified Acquisition Branch intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the statutory authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with Carolina Sound Communications, for new audio-visual (AV) hardware and have it installed in four (4) conference rooms in Charleston, SC. Additionally, maintenance and training on equipment shall be included. The new equipment is to be integrated with existing equipment. OCM requirements are to have some new equipment integrated with existing, and still viable, equipment. This requires knowledge of the older system, what still works, what can be integrated (new and old), and ensuring it all works together seamlessly and easily for our user base. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 238210 Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors, with a business size standard of $19M. Sole Source Justification The Office for Coastal Management has a requirement to purchase new audio-visual (AV) hardware and have it installed in four (4) conference rooms in Charleston, SC. Additionally, maintenance and training on equipment shall be included. The new equipment is to be integrated with existing equipment. The required equipment must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment, and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement. Carolina Sound Communications has performed installation and maintenance on the existing equipment that is already in place, thus having intimate knowledge of the system. OCM requirements include the integration of a number of existing AV components with new AV equipment. With some of the existing equipment being 10 years old, but still viable, the past knowledge of the existing system components is essential to the seamless integration of new and old equipment.
