E-MAIL: Trena N. Bercaw, Trena.N.Bercaw.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA/HQ plans to issue a six month extension (a five(5) month basic period, with one, 1-month option period) on a sole source basis to StellaCom, Inc. The extension is required to continue critical production, operations and maintenance support services for the NASA Public Affairs Office, until a new competitively awarded contract can be issued. Support services for this requirement include: 1)audio/video production operations, 2)radio and television productions, 3)audio and video operations and engineering, 4)audio and video library operations and management, and 5)repair, service and maintence of the facility's equipment. NASA/HQ intends to procure the services under the extension from StellaCom, Inc. The statutory authority for this sole source extension is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)-Only One Responsible Source. Award of this extension to any other source would result in unacceptable delays. However, companies who believe they can provide these services without any detrimental impact to the NASA Public Affairs operations, should fully identify their interest and capabilities within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Interested organizations have 15 days from the publication of this synopsis to submit, in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications and capabilities to perform the effort. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this extension on a competitive basis. Responses received after the 15 days or without the required information will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. 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. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed, See Internet Note "B".
