- Description
- Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Installation Contracting Office (MICC-ICO), Fort Campbell, KY, has a requirement for one (1) Telephone Conference Bridge Replacement. The Government intends to enter into a firm-fixed-price contract with LGS Innovations, LLC, 5440 Millstream Road STE E. 210, MC Leansville, NC 27301. The procurement will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1) which states, 'For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name or industrial mobilization).' The basis for restricting competition is existing equipment (Digital Telephone Switching System (5ESS)) is manufactured by Lucent Technologies. All current 5ESS and Metropolis DMX systems are covered under a 5 year maintenance agreement with LGS. Therefore, for compatibility reasons and to ensure requested equipment is properly provisioned, integrated and engineered with existing network without violation of the maintenance agreement, LGS is the only authorized company capable of fulfilling the requirement. Also, any other company besides LSG will violate LGS engineering guidelines resulting in jeopardizing warranty and maintenance agreement of existing equipment thereby placing the network at risk of failure. NAICS code for this procurement is 334210 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. This sole source requirement will be procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and Other Than Full and Open Competition, and awarded on an unrestricted basis. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE OFFERS and solicitation will not be issued; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 5 days from the date of the publication of this synopsis. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements listed. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the sole source negotiation with Precision Products. Responses are due by Friday, 27 April 2012, 1300 hours (1:00 PM (CST). Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to the following address: fannie.m.robertson.civ@mail.mil or faxed responses will be accepted at (270) 798-7548. Telephone requests or inquires will not be accepted. The points of contact are Mrs. Fannie M. Robertson, 270-412-2302 or Mrs. Angela Jacobs, 270-798-7815, angela.d.jacobs2.civ@mail.mil.
