Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division awarded Contract N00178-98-D-1045 on 14 August 1998 to provide for cell phone equipment and related services for a 5-year period of performance beginning 01 October 1998 and ending 30 September 2003. Further expansion of usage of the contract has resulted in expenditure of contractual ceiling at a greater rate than anticipated. Therefore, NSWCDD intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, a modification to the existing contract with Cellular One, 7855 Walker Drive, Suite 100, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770-3293 to provide for continued support through the term of the contract which will end 30 September 2003. At that time, support will be provided through NMCI. As the incumbent contractor, Cellular One is the sole contractor capable of providing continuity of services through the period leading to NMCI implementation without major disruption, loss of functionality and/or features, degradation of services and significant overall cost impact to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division. Vendors who are interested in this procurement must indicate their interest by 22 June 2001. All responses from responsible sources will be considered. In addition to cell phone equipment and service plan costs, the evaluation shall consider the impact to switch services, including cost impact coupled with disruption to NSWCDD customers. Any questions regarding this correspondence should be directed to Code SD113 at (540)653-7478 or via email sd11@nswc.navy.mil. DoD will not longer award contracts to contractors not registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Registration may be done by accessing the CCR Web site at http://www.ccr2000.com. A paper registration form may also be obtained from the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at (800) 334-3414.
