Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), on behalf of Office of the General Counsel (OGC), intends to increase the ceiling of Contract HHSN263201800019I to Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig, 211 Church Street, Leesburg, VA 20175-3034, pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This requirement is to provide Trademark related services. The current contract was solicited under full and open procedures where all interested parties were made aware of the current, potential contract value and the current, firm contract scope. However, the Government intends to increase the contract ceiling as a result of unanticipated work and higher than expected need for the services. This increase is necessary�to cover increased work related to the COVID-19 pandemic; such as� handling of national and international filings of numerous certification mark applications, including those for the N95 respirator mask trademark as well as other projected work relating to international filings, anticipated in Europe, Australia, South America, the Middle East and Asia. The anticipated value of the ceiling increase is $274,875.00 for the remaining option periods of the contract. No other source is able to provide these critical/essential services beginning in September 2020 without causing unacceptable delays to the Government in fulfilling the agency's requirements. This Special Notice is�to increase the contract ceiling, and�not a request for competitive proposals nor a solicitation for offers. Any responses or capability statements submitted to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition of the work would be advantageous to the government. A determination by NIH to not compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice shall not be construed as a legal commitment by the Government.� Additional requests for information, status or clarification pertaining to this notice shall be declined by the Government. The point of contact is Contract Specialist: O. Joy Ajao, who can be reached at�ajaooj@mail.nih.gov.� Interested parties may express their interest and provide a capability statement, no later than (NLT) September 4, 2020 at 1 PM EST.
