D -- LEASE TELECOMMUNICATION CABLE PLANT AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES TO INCLUDE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE FOR OTIS ANGB MA 02452 POC Debbie Speir, Contract Specialist, (405)734-9297 Cathy D. Summers, Contracting Officer (405)734-9759. The 38 Logistics Squadron/LGCX intends to procure on a sole source lease a telecommunication cable plant and associated services to include operation and maintenance for Otis ANGB, MA. The intended contractor is AT&T Federal Systems. AT&T Federal Systems shall provide all the following services at the location listed above: (1) Operation and maintenance of all equipment and assets used to facilitate the transmission of telecommunications information from building terminal to building terminal within the campus environment of the base listed above, and (2) Provide new cable additions as necessary. The equipment that makes up the required outside cable plant facilities includes all of the embedded, buried and aerial cable, and/or fiber optic cable, the installed equipment needed to maintain connectivity to that cable, and the existing terminals installed in several locations on the base. The period of performance shall be from 01 Oct 96 through 30 Sep 99, from the date of contract award or until the existing cable plant is replaced under alternate means. The primary place of performance will be at the site listed above. This acquisition is conducted under a specific agency delegation of GSA's exclusive procurement authority for Federal Information Processing (FIP) resources. This sole source acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1). It has been determined the required services are available only from the original source, AT&T Federal Systems, as this is a follow-on contract for the continued provision of these highly specialized services and it is likely that award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The incumbent vendor owns the cable currently installed, requires no additional start-up cost, is familiar with the needs of the Air Force and has trained, qualified technicians available to perform the required services. The Government intends to issue a Communication Service Authorization (CSA) at this site. The Communications Office (DECCO) Basic Agreement DCA200-93-H-0018. Note 22. (0226)
