65--Application Sychronization

Network Contracting Office 8 plans to negotiate a direct award task order with Salvadorini Consulting, LLC, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, for the continued lease and support of Mobile MRI systems at the James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital in Tampa, Florida. Salvadorini Consulting, LLC, the current incumbent provider on-site, is required to continue services for an estimated six months at a monthly cost of $36,975 due to construction delays, as all previous contract options have expired. The contract will be firm fixed price and F.O.B. destination, and the applicable NAICS code is 621512 with a size standard of $12 million. This action is not a request for competitive proposals, but firms capable of providing the required equipment are encouraged to notify the Contracting Officer in writing by noon EST on September 17, 2012. The Government maintains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed without competition based on any responses received. All inquiries should be emailed to the designated Contracting Officer, and no telephone requests will be entertained. The contract relates to continued equipment support under the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8, and the place of performance is specified as Tampa, FL. The objective is to ensure uninterrupted Mobile MRI system services at the Veterans hospital during ongoing construction that has delayed previous arrangements.
