- Description
- The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 with Nextel Communications, Inc. This requirement is for the provision of cellular and data services for devices and telecommunications equipment at the Theodore Roosevelt Building located at 1900 E Street, NW, Washington, DC and other locations. This service is a continuation of a program that began in 2001. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. OPM intends to use existing commercially available national, digital wireless enhanced specialized mobile radio (ESMR) equipment and services with the following capabilities: Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) based digital cellular service, two-way digital radio service, interagency two way radio interoperability, local, regional, and national two way radio coverage, voice mail, text messaging, numeric paging, caller identification, all integrated into a single handset. Other services include mobile office email, PBX integration, PBX redundancy and disaster recovery, fraud protection, and digital call privacy, web-enabled account and inventory management. The wireless services must operate digitally in the 800MHz band and offer national, real-time, full duplex voice service that is interconnected with the public switched network. Two-way digital radio service must operate in the same 800MHz band and offer private one-to one-communications, talk group communications and dynamic regrouping within a user organization. Other services include wireless Internet access through the cellular handset and access to dial-up systems by tethering the handset to a PDA, laptop, or other computing device. International cellular services must be accessible through integrated handsets that will operate on both iDEN and GSM systems. In addition, potential sources must have National programs that consist of an in-place billing system, sales and marketing personnel, and must furnish all personnel, equipment, materials, services, and facilities necessary to perform the Government requirement. Firms believing they can provide similar services above must provide written notification to the Contracting Officer with supporting evidence to that effect in sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responses received within 10 calendar days of the date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses and inquiries to this notice must be sent by email to Dorsey H. Delavigne at dorsey.delavigne@opm.gov. Responses should include your Dun and Bradstreet number (DUNS). In addition, responders must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration database. The NAICS Code 517410 applies to this procurement. This notice may represent the only official notice of such a solicitation.
