- Description
- This announcement is a notice of intent to issue a sole source contract under the requirements of FAR Part 15 and FAR 6.302-1," Other Than Full and Open Competition - one responsible source". The National Institutes of Standards and Technology, Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the International Trade Administration, plans to award a bridge contract on a sole source basis. The contract period shall be from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. Awarding a contract to another source would result in unacceptable delays/gaps in service during the time required to issue a new competitive contract. It is the Government's intent to compete and award a new contract within the twelve (12) month period of performance. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541511 with the Size Standard of $25.5 million. The International Trade Administration (ITA) proposes to contract with Aplicor to support the Client Tracking System (CTS). The purpose of this system is to provide ITA with a central common database and tools for managing all interactions with its clients. This software package has several modules that support different applications. The CTS product is developed and licensed (including all supporting modules and components) by Aplicor. Aplicor holds proprietary rights to the Aplicor CTS product and is the exclusive support services provider for the product. This contract will be awarded as new short-term "bridge" contract with the incumbent contractor, Aplicor 1515 South Federal Highway - Suite 306, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 USA. There will be no change to the existing specifications or service requirements. The proposed bridge contract will be for a maximum period of 12 months (including options). This will provide for continuation of current services while the follow-on requirement is solicited and awarded on a competitive basis. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION. THIS NOTICE IS NOT CONSIDERED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE AND TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE HONORED. ANY RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE MUST SHOW CLEAR, COMPELLING, AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT COMPETITION WILL BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE GOVERNMENT. IF NO AFFIRMATIVE WRITTEN RESPONSE IS RECEIVED, THE CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. A DETERMINATION NOT TO COMPETE THIS PROPOSED CONTRACT UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
