N -- SITE INSTALLATION OF COTS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE Primary points of contact: Ms. Karen M. Barnhart, (703) 806-0541; Mr. Greg Roddy, (703) 806-0545; Contracting Officer, Mr. Richard S. Sturgis, (703) 806-0546. Request for Information. The purpose of this synopsis is to solicit information on existing Indefinite Delivery contracts which could be used to install Government-furnished commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software at Army bases in CONUS, as required to support the Sustaining Base Information Services (SBIS) program. Tasks may include installation of the site's backbone wiring (outside cable plant), premise wiring, PCs, PC upgrades, LAN drops, and other devices such as hubs, routers, printers, etc. Related automation tasks may include utilization of Government-furnished configuration management tools. Typically, work is performed under a tight delivery schedule in an office environment in buildings which are widely dispersed at the site. The Government implementation schedule may require the vendor to perform concurrent installations at multiple, geographically-dispersed sites. Vendor flexibility and responsiveness are considered to be essential to customer satisfaction. Any vendors who have or are participating in contracts in which the Army is in scope must respond in writing to ISSAA at the above address giving the vendor's name and address, and POC name and telephone number; the contracting agency for the vendor's contract; contract number; and contract POC and telephone number. Vendors without existing contracts are not encouraged to reply to this synopsis. Responding vendors also should provide information on vendor's relevant corporate capabilities and limitations. No delivery order will be awarded to any vendor solely as a result of a response to this synopsis. Response to this synopsis is due NLT 1 December 1995. (310)
