- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch intends to award a firm fixed price sole source base plus four option year contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 only one responsible source to: Discoverygarden Inc. 16 McCarville St. Charlottetown, PE C1E 2A6, Canada The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services. The object of this sole source award is to have continued access to maintain an existing Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) that is wholly owned by the Service and installed on FWS-managed cloud space. The DAMS is intended to increase work efficiencies for Service employees who use or create digital media. Since that time, a discovery phase has been implemented wherein the provider, Discoverygarden, has worked extensively with FWS stakeholders to obtain a thorough understanding of the enterprise-level needs along with individual FWS programmatic needs from Refuges and the National Digital Library. Discoverygarden has completed many of the deliverables requested and is still needed to complete the remaining deliverables, provide training, and launch the live site, as well as provide ongoing support and maintenance. To maintain system compatibility, avoid any lapse in development and support, as well as complex and costly knowledge transfer to another 3rd party, continuing to work with Discoverygarden has been reasoned to be the best available option. This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation; however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: Lorenzo_aragon@fws.gov. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS/OFFERS WILL BE HONORED
