- Description
- Statement of Work The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, Silver Spring, Maryland, is issuing notice of intent to negotiate a sole source procurement, in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting Competition, with the Time Warner Entertainment Company LP for the installation of Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Internet IPv4 and IPv6 access, cabling, related supplies, equipment and labor to connect the two locations of the Inouye Regional Center in Hawaii to network assets at University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Inouye Regional Center (IRC) IT Branch (ITB) operates the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) IRC Telecommunications Infrastructure. For this requirement, the locations where network connectivity is required are on Oahu between Ford Island and University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM). The two locations are currently connected via MPLS data lines (250Mbps). However, it is on a common carrier and pathways to existing services on campus. NOAA is obtaining the services of a secondary provider that does not use an existing local exchange carrier to provide a back-up means to carry data across the water. Time Warner Entertainment Company LP was identified as the only provider that can fulfill this required backup system. The applicable NAICS code is 517110 with a size standard of 1500. Interested parties may identify their interest and must provide evidence of their capability to respond to this requirement by 12:00 P.M. EST August 29th, 2016. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Karen.W.Jones@noaa.gov.
