- Description
- Sole Source Justification - Final The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriclutural Research Service (ARS), Eastern Business Service Center (EBSC) intends to award a sole source procurement to: University of Wisconsin - Madison Madison, WI to provide required network hardware equipment upgrades and related installation to the USDA-ARS facilities in Madison, WI. The University requires that all network equipment in their buildings be purchased from, configured by, and installed by University of Wisconsin to ensure proper network compatibility and continuity along with security and integrity of the overall University of Wisconsin network infrastructure. Given that ARS resides within a University Building, ARS cannot obtain these requirements from any other source than University of Wisconsin. Without using the University as the vendor ARS would not be permitted to access University of Wisconsin Networks, which supplies its internet access, network security, etc. Equipment from other vendors would not be permitted to be installed in or hooked up to the University of Wisconsin Network. Pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The analysis will be conducted for the USDA-ARS facilities in Madison, WI. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on or about April 12, 2018. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider all responses received by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, April 11, 2018. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to the following addresses: USDA-ARS-EBSC Nick Langley Nicholas.Langley@ars.usda.gov
