Description

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), Strategic Sourcing Acquisition Division (SSAD), intends to increase the maximum ceiling amount on the non-competitively awarded Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract No. DG-1330-13-CQ-0035 with the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (I2), 1000 Oakbrook Drive, Suite 300, Ann Arbor, MI 48104-6794. The statutory authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 - Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 517110, Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The purpose of this contract is to acquire access to I2’s National Optical Network which provides ultra-high speed research and education network connectivity and associated services to support N-Wave, a nationwide science and supercomputing network. These connectivity services are designed and engineered to support applications such as the following: video conferencing, engineering, webcasting, data center facilities, collocation services and connectivity. The NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has engineered, configured, and implemented N-Wave for interconnection of the OCIO, NOAA high performance research resources, and the NOAA scientific community as a whole. The intent of N-Wave is to provide a national network backbone for the interconnection of all NOAA research facilities. This noncompetitive IDIQ contract was awarded on September 7, 2013 for one base year of performance with four (4) one-year options. Due to emergent requirements surrounding compliance with the Trusted Internet Connection mandate, as well as support for the NOAA Network Consolidation and Optimization Plan, additional task orders have been required over the originally awarded IDIQ ceiling amount. This ceiling increase will allow for continued services within scope of the current contract thru 6 September 2017. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED FOR THIS REQUIREMENT. It is the Government’s belief that the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (I2) is the only entity capable of meeting the subject requirement. Any interested parties that believe they have the expertise and capability to meet this requirement may submit a capabilities statement no later than 15 calendar days from the date of the posting of this announcement. Responses received must include sufficient information to allow the Government to evaluate the interested parties’ capability relative to the technical requirements stated herein. The Government is not obligated to reimburse any costs incurred towards responding to this notice. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement for competition is solely within the Government’s discretion. Responses are to be submitted to Ronette Pratt, Contract Specialist, NOAA Affiliate ronette. pratt@noaa.gov.
