E-MAIL: Delia B. Robey, Delia.B.Robey.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA intends to award a sole-source contract extension to NCI Information Systems, Incorporated, McLean, Virginia, pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source under Contract NASW-4974. This procurement is to extend the current contract for up to 6 months, in support of NASA Headquarters, Office of Security Management and Facilities Management. The current contractor provides the following services to the NASA HQ building and its employees: library, mail center, history office, document services, telephone directory, information center, INFOCOM, audio visual, move services, electrical and handyman, help desk, custodial, printing and design, and the representational facility. NASA/GSFC intends to extend the existent contract for a period of 4 months, from June 1, 2000, through September 30, 2000, with two additional 1-month options potentially extending the contract through November 30, 2000. These services provide a wide range of support and are essential to the HQ environment. NCI has managed the current contract for the past 5 years and has the infrastructure in place to provide these services on short notice, for the brief period. They have the experience, management skills, and trained personnel to carry out the day-to-day operations and meet required schedules. Because of the time involved in procuring and phasing-in services from another contractor and because of the short term nature of the contract extension, NCI is considered to be the only source capable of meeting NASA's needs. Any other firms desiring consideration are requested to fully identify their interest and capabilities within 15 days of the date of publication of this synopsis to the NASA/GSFC office and contact listed above. 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 noticeis solely within the discretion of the government.
