- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Pitney Bowes, 1 Elmcroft Rd., Stamford, CT 06926. This action is under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1(a)2(ii) "Supplies or services required by the agency available from only one responsible source"" to relocate data servers. SSA currently uses Pitney Bowes Inserters and the Pitney Bowes SSA customized / proprietary Track & Trace System. The concurrence of Pitney Bowes to relocate these servers is considered to be the most practical solution for the government. The period of performance is for 12 months (08/01/2011 - 07/31/2012). The place of performance is SSA's Second Support Center (SSC) located in Durham, NC. This procurement requires the vendor to disconnect the servers from the Print Mail Facility, install fiber optic NIC cards, relocate the servers to another location within SSA, and test the system to ensure proper operation. The government anticipates award of a firm fixed price purchase order. Interested parties that feel they can provide the required service may respond by submitting their capability statement via email to Greg.Shanklin@ssa.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice does not constitute a solicitation for offers. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. This is not a request for quotation, and the Government does not intend to pay for information received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, SSA will proceed with sole source negotiations. All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted in writing to the email address listed above by 4:00 PM, ET, July 28, 2011. Telephone calls regarding this matter will not be accepted, nor will they be returned.
