Description

D -- The Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to modify the purchase orders issued to Wilbert Briggs and Joyce Brewer to extend the period of performance by four months. This extension will allow these contractor's to continue to provide critical technical support services for the design, development, testing and implementation of the DOJ's Debt Collection Management Module. It is necessary that DOJ retain the services of these contractors who have detailed and extensive knowledge of the Federal Management Information System (FMIS) and the processes supported by the Debt Collection Management Module. These contractor's possess a working knowledge of the actual code comprising the modules, the multitude of modules supporting the payment, accounting and management reporting activities which comprise the services provided to the other organizations by Finance. The DOJ has determined that the cost and time to develop the requisite technical capabilities within other contractors would result in substantial duplication of costs that are not expected to be recovered through full competition. Futhermore, to delay the completion of the new systems may seriously jeopardize meeting mandated deadlines. Briggs and Brewer are uniquely qualified to perform these services based on their years of experience with the FMIS, including specifically the development of the Debt Collection Management Module. This notice is for information purposes only. Responses received as a result of this notice of intent shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses will not be considered as either proposal or bids. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement to competition, based upon the written responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be received at the address above by COB 5/29/2001*****
