Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR part 13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation (F26600-01-Q-B027) is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). It replaces a previous notice of sole source negotiation synopsis (F26600-01-R-B002). The NAICS code for this acquisition is 23492. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-19. There is one (1) CLIN included in this solicitation. CLIN 0001 is for the installation of fiber optics cable as described in the Statement of Work (SOW) available on http://www.eps.gov, also included below . Nellis AFB NV is considering award of this service contract on a sole source procurement to Nevada Power Company due to their ownership of the utility poles on which the fiber optic cable will be placed. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that substantial duplication of cost to the Government would incur that would not be recovered should this work be competed. To use any source other than NPC would involve the significant, additional cost and time required to obtain easement rights and purchase and erect poles to carry the cable. Sole-Source negotiation to NPC is in the best interest of the government. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Delivery is FOB DESTINATION to Nellis AFB NV 89191.
