E-MAIL: Sandra Savage, Sandra.S.Savage.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. Plant Protection Services on-site at GSFC/Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). This is a notice of intent to issue a Letter Request for Proposal on a noncompetitive basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) -- "Only One Responsible Source", to Omne Services Group, 11 Bleeker Street, Millburn, NJ 07041 for an eight-month extension, April 1, 2000, through November 30, 2000, with three one-month option periods through February 28, 2001, under contract NAS5-32240. This proposed plant protection support is necessary for continued security and fire fighting services at GSFC, Wallops Flight Facility. The current plant protection services contract is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2000. Plant protection services will be included in the Wallops Integrated Contract Consolidation (WICC). This proposed extension will allow for completion of this follow-on requirement that is included in the WICC. Competition of this contract is not possible due to the short duration of the service period. Award of this extension to other than the incumbent would likely result in disruption of services since this contract requires contractor-supplied items such as vehicles, uniforms, and personnel security clearances. Continued services with the incumbent contractor are considered necessary for the safe, orderly, and effective continuation of security and fire activities. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the GSFC/Wallops Flight Facility and individual identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on March 8, 2000. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. 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. Collect calls are not accepted. See Numbered Note 26. See Number Note 22. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note "B".
