Description
The Social Security Administration intends to extend contract number SS00-10-60080 with the Iron Mountain Information Management LLc, One Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110 on a sole source basis for a period of four months to provide continued offsite data storage and disaster recovery. The Social Security Administration is preparing to re-compete this contract, but has experienced delays. A short-term extension to the existing contract is being sought based on the need to continue services in order to mitigate the risk of potential loss of data. The 4-month extension will cover the period of 02/01/2016 through 05/31/2016. This procurement is being made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)) "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The sole source is based on the source's unique ability to provide the continued services. As the incumbent contractor, Iron Mountain Information Management LLC has a designated vault area for SSA tapes already established. They have an inventory of tapes already in storage. They have a cadre of employees and drivers that have been cleared. Iron Mountain has facilities and vehicles that meet the criteria in the contract to ensure protection of the tapes and sensitive data they hold. The procurement process, learning curve, tape transition, and clearance process of a new contractor would take almost the entire four month period of the extension. Therefore, it is in the Government?s best interest to utilize Iron Mountain for the extension. This is not a formal solicitation. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that the required capability is available from other sources and competition would be advantageous to the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. If no affirmative written response is received, the procurement will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to the following email address by 9:00 am EST, December 7, 2015: brenda.monch@ssa.gov.
