- Description
- Sixty (60) Day Extension to EP-W-18-007/0005� Application Management Support for Office of Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) Compass Licensing and Operations and Maintenance Support Services Intent to Sole Source: NAICS Code: 541512�Computer Systems Design Services. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a requirement for continuation of services under the current contract EP-W-18-007/0005 in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, as described below. EP-W-18-007/0005 expires on March 31, 2025. A follow on to the current task order is currently being competed. The services under this contract are critical and cannot lapse. FAR Clause 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services was included at task order award, however, the price of that option was not negotiated at award. The EPA intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with CGI Federal Inc., 12601 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax VA 22033, a modification to contract EP-W-18-007/0005 to extend services under this contract, not to exceed sixty (60) additional days of service, until such time that the competition for the follow-on contract for Application Management Support for Office of Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) Compass Licensing and Operations and Maintenance Support Services is completed and a follow-on contract is awarded. CGI Federal Inc. currently provides Application Management Support services to the EPA�s OCFO, under contract EP-W-18-007/0005 and has provided these services and support under said contract since March of 2007. The continuity that CGI Federal Inc.�s services will provide are critical to maintain the Compass Financial System and to ensure continuity of mission critical work. There are no other entities that have the capability of providing the level, breadth, and depth of support that are required by OCFO in order to continue mission critical activities with the least amount of disruption in a short period of time on a temporary basis. CGI Federal Inc. is best suited for continuing to provide the above indicated services and support for the requested Sixty (60) day extension as they have the necessary infrastructure, personnel, and supplies already in place and fully functioning. This will guarantee continuity of services for the EPA�s critical mission of ensuring the continuation of the Compass Licensing, Operations, and Maintenance contract. The Government is not stating that there are no other contractors who can provide these support services. The Government understands that there are other companies that provide similar support services. The Government is instead saying that considering the short period of performance contemplated within this extension and that the five year follow on contract award will be competed amongst eligible, qualified companies, that no other contractors could transition this workload from CGI Federal Inc. and efficiently continue performance without potential reduced services, increased costs, and unnecessary risks to the Government. This sixty (60) day extension of services is not an attempt by the Government to limit competition to the incumbent contractor but to provide additional time to compete, negotiate, and award the follow-on contract. In accordance with FAR Part 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the Agency. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice will be posted for 15 days. The intent of this synopsis is to state the Government�s intention to sole source this requirement and to determine if any other source(s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation is available. All interested parties who believe they can provide the required service should: 1) fully explain their capabilities and qualifications in writing and submit same via FedConnect, a government web portal, within 15 days from the date of this announcement; and 2) must submit itemized pricing that is sufficient to make a determination that competition is feasible. Consequently, any responder(s) failing to provide the aforementioned data but instead choosing merely to submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will not be honored. Offerors must submit all technical questions / responses concerning this synopsis electronically through FedConnect at www.fedconnect.net/Fedconnect/. The synopsis, amendments, and other information related to this procurement as well as any subsequent procurement notifications will be posted on the Sam.Gov website at: www.sam.gov and the Fedconnect website at: https://www.fedconnect.net/ . For questions please contact Kimberley Church-Mathis at ChurchMathis.Kimberley@epa.gov, however, at this time phone calls related to this procurement are not being accepted.
