Description
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration intends to award a sole source purchase order to Comcast, located at 9609 Annapolis Road, Lanham, MD, to provide a Cable Service for Fiscal Year 2014, for 51-100 outlets located the Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, MD. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13.501(2)(i). The NAICS code is 334310 and the size standard is 23.0 million. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations and no solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, sources may submit descriptive literature, fully documenting their capability to perform these services, which will be considered by the Agency. General Description: CFSAN must be kept abreast of any breaking news regarding FDA related issues. Vendor shall provide local television services providing at a minimum the following channels - NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, News Channel 8, and other basic cable channels such as CNN, MSNBC and other select cable TV channels as offered for a maximum of 100 concurrent connections. Scope of work: Vendor should provide the service requested in a reasonable, non-intrusive manner that is also cost effective for the Government. The vendor will be required to furnish all conference rooms, auditorium and other select offices with cable services, materials needed to accomplish the installation and maintenance for cable television to CFSAN. Services provided are determined to be reasonable and acceptable based on FCC tariff regulations. All connections shall be provided for digital cable for all existing facilities within CFSAN. Existing cable services were installed in October 2002. Should this requirement be competed and awarded to a new vendor the current infrastructure could not be utilized. Therefore the new vendor would be responsible for providing 68 concurrent connections to CFSAN for a period of 12 months. The vendor would need to install the required infrastructure that would support their cable services in order to meet the level of performance and service currently being received. Satellite or other cable service can be provided but at a significant increase in infrastructure cost to CFSAN. Satellite services can't be provided without infrastructure approval from the General Service Administration (GSA). Therefore, we are not requesting that satellite companies be competed in this request. Information can be sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Office of Acquisitions & Grants Services, Attn: Debbie Hammond, Contract Specialist, 5630 Fishers Lane HFA-500, Rockville, MD 20857. Information may be also faxed to 301-827-1044 or via email to the address below. Responses received will be evaluated, however; a determination not to compete the proposed procurement is based on responses(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the FDA will proceed with a sole source award Comcast of Maryland. The anticipated award date for this contract is scheduled to be October 1, 2014. No collect calls will be accepted. If you have questions regarding this Announcement, please contact Debbie Hammond at 240 402-7535 or via email dhammon1@oc.fda.gov.
