D -- COOP NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) plans to award a sole source contract to National Notification Network LLC to provide ongoing support, updates, and enhancements for a Continuity of Operations (COOP) notification system initially purchased in fiscal year 2005. The contract will include a one-year base period with two additional one-year option periods, allowing the Bureau to maintain and improve the notification system without competitive bidding. This action reflects the Government's discretion to forego competition, and no request for proposals will be issued. The contract, identified by solicitation number BLS-06-29, serves to ensure seamless continuity and notification capabilities integral to the BLS’s operational resilience. Key contacts for this procurement are Vanessa J Reynolds and Judith S Silver, both of whom hold acquisition-related roles within the Bureau. The contract announcement serves solely as a notice of intent and is not soliciting offers, with further contract details accessible through official government contracting platforms.
