EXTENSION OF CONTRACT-DMC AUDIOVISUAL MAINTENANCE

The Government plans to issue a three-month contract extension to Taft Broadcasting LLC, the current contractor under contract HQ0028-04-C-0012, to continue providing Audio Visual Maintenance services for the Defense Media Center (DMC) in Riverside, California. This extension will maintain the same terms, conditions, and delivery schedules as the existing contract, which is set to expire on February 28, 2010. The purpose of this short-term extension is to prevent any disruption in mission-critical services while the Government finalizes the Request for Proposal (RFP) HQ0028-10-R-0005 and conducts the source selection process for a follow-on contract, which will not be completed before the current contract's expiration. Taft Broadcasting LLC, as the incumbent contractor, is considered uniquely positioned to continue these services without interruption, ensuring the DMC's operational needs are met seamlessly. The contract involves ongoing support under NAICS code 811213, which relates to commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services, and is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the DMC office located in Riverside, CA. The contracting officer responsible for this action is Susan M. Madrid, who can be contacted for further details. This short-term extension reflects the Government’s intent to maintain continuity of critical audiovisual maintenance services during the transition period to a new contractor.
