- Description
- NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) intends to award a sole-source extension to Ricoh Americas Corporation (Ricoh) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of the Technical Information and Management Services Branch. This procurement is to extend the current delivery orders under Contract NAS5-01125 from December 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 to allow for completion of the phase-in transition period. The NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) awarded the follow-on contract, an agency-wide multifunctional device (MFD) services contract, to Xerox Corporation effective May 1, 2007 with a 150-day phase-in period from the date of award. The delivery orders were extended through November 30, 2007 to allow for the continuity of services as well as the completion of the phase-in and phase-out period of the successor and incumbent contractor, respectively. It was anticipated that the phase-in and phase-out activities would be completed by November 30, 2007. However, the NSSC notified NASA's GSFC that an extension is necessary for NASA Headquarters. The continued tight coordination between Ricoh, Xerox and the Government is critical in an effort to avoid an interruption in service. Due to the necessary phase-in period, Ricoh is considered the only contractor capable of meeting NASA/GSFC's needs given the magnitude of the effort and the short period of performance of the extension. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. 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. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below.
