- Description
- This procurement action is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 with the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the requirement; therefore proposals cannot be submitted directly on this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Transatlantic Division Middle East District, Contracting Office intends to extend routine, traditional operations and maintenance (O&M) services for Afghan National Security Forces' (ANSF) facilities located in the provinces and districts throughout Northern Afghanistan under contract W912ER-10-D-0002 awarded to ITT Systems Corporation (now Exelis Systems Corporation), 665 Space Center Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80915-3604. A modification to the existing contract is intended in order to avoid disruption of O&M services as well as unacceptable delays and significant cost to the Government; an award to other than Exelis would result in irretrievable costs and other valuable resources through competition and risk the degradation of the structural integrity and overall facility operating systems (power, water and sewer) of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP) facilities. In addition, a delay would impede ANSF's capability to meet their objective to take full responsibility of facility operations and sustainment as the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) prepares the ANA and ANP to provide competent and capable leadership for an effective defense force in Afghanistan. Awarded in 2010, contract W912ER-10-D-0002 provides labor, services, supplies, oversight support, materials, tools, equipment, spare parts, warehousing, inventory control, security, transportation and other items necessary to perform O&M services for infrastructure and systems at ANA and ANP facilities such as ANA brigade camps, ANSF medical facilities and ANP police stations. Routine, traditional O&M support consists of the following services: operation, maintenance, repair and minor construction of real property facilities; ancillary engineering design services in support of the operation, maintenance, repair and minor construction of real property facilities; standard utility locater services; scheduled and unscheduled maintenance; minor pest control; equipment inventories, condition assessments; emergency services such as restoration of power, water and sanitation; preventative maintenance; O&M manuals; property accounting and control of real property; and environmental services. The contractor is responsible for all planning, programming, administration, management, supervision and execution necessary to provide the O&M services. The performance period for this extension of O&M services will be no longer than six months beginning on or about 01 April 2014 to on or about 30 September 2014. The value of this extension is estimated not to exceed $48 million. All services under this contract will continue to be performed in Afghanistan. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, in accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16), the Government will consider information received by interested sources by 4PM 15 November 2013. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All interested firms must respond by 4PM 15 November 2013, Eastern Standard Time (EST), by e-mail to Dee Warchola at the following e-mail address: deetra.c.warchola@usace.army.mil. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. The e-mail subject line shall state: W912ER-10-D-0002, Notice of Intent to Sole Source. The following information shall be included in the response: (1) Statement of Capability; (2) proof of SAM registration and (3) documentation that shows firm's ability to provide the required services in Afghanistan under all laws, edicts, and regulations in effect for that country as of the date of your response. This documentation shall include (a) proof of registration in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS); (b) proof of firm's physical address, telephone number and contact information for its office in Afghanistan; and (c) proof of Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA) License. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Middle East District, will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the information requested in this Notice of Intent to Sole Source.
