- Description
- This is a notice of intent by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to contract with GlobalNet Services, Inc. (GNSI) on a sole source basis for the completion/launch/temporary operations and maintenance support/and transition support services of the FDA’s redesigned website. This is an interim requirement for a period of performance of less than one year, until a new competitive action can be initiated and awarded. FDA requires the new web site to be fully completed, operational and launched within the next 60 days to meet the project deadline of May 2009. GNSI has performed the stand up of all existing services and has been performing the operations and maintenance since the FDA web site was first launched as prime contractor initially and more recently as a subcontractor. The authority used for this sole source contract is FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) and is based on the vendor’s current and prior involvement in creating and maintaining the systems that make up the FDA Web sites make them the only vendor that can perform and complete the statement of work services required within the timeframe specified as GNSI already has the infrastructure in place and will not require any time to familiarize themselves with the current environment, as well as not needing time to clear their personnel and obtain access to the FDA network services needed to complete the tasks. The NAICS code is 541511. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; no solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, sources may submit descriptive literature, fully documenting their capability to perform these services, which will be considered by the Agency. A determination to compete this procurement based on response(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. A solicitation will be issued to GlobNet Solutions Inc. no less than 15 days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines. All written inquiries must be received by not later than 10:00 AM (1000) ET on 7 April 2009 to the attention of Linda Alexander-Giles, linda.alexander-giles@fda-hhs.gov
