- Description
- This announcement constitutes a Notice of Proposed Contract Action (NOCA), by the Intelligence and Special Programs Division, Hanscom AFB, MA, to award a contract with United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), Herndon, VA, for services required to display a complete Eagle Vision 4 system at the USGIF GEOINT Symposium 2011. ESC plans to issue a purchase order to USGIF, using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. The circumstance permitting this purchase order is FAR 13.106(b)(1) - "only one source available." USGIF is the only firm reasonably available to perform the effort required as they are the organizer and manager of the symposium and the only organization that can authorize and ensure the EV 4 system is displayed. USGIF describes the event accordingly "Produced by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), the annual GEOINT Symposium is the nation's premier intelligence event as well as the largest intelligence event in the United States. It offers a wealth of quality information, cutting-edge technologies, and top-notch activities that keep attendees coming back year after year. In addition to insightful keynote addresses and thought-provoking panels with leaders from the Defense and Intelligence communities, the GEOINT Symposium provides attendees with an unparalleled opportunity to network at various social events and explore new technologies with more than 100,000 square feet of exhibits in the exhibit hall." This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the government to the identified point of contact no later than Monday, 5 Aug 2011, 5:00 PM, EDT. Such capabilities will be evaluated solely of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. 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. No RFP will be issued based upon this Notice of Intent. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this NOCA nor will the Government compensate a respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to ESC. This notice is not a commitment from the Government. An ESC Ombudsman has been appointed to consider and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. Before consulting the Ombudsman concerned parties should first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendation to the Contracting Officer for resolution. In addition, AFFARS 5352.201-9101, Ombudsman, will be included in this acquisition's solicitation and contract. The ESC Ombudsman can be contacted at: ESC Ombudsman; Bldg 1606, 9 Eglin Street, Hanscom AFB MA 01731; Telephone #: 781-377-5106; Facsimile #: 781-377-4659; E-Mail: ESC.Ombudsman@hanscom.af.mil.
