GSA Regional Local Service Agreement (RLSA) Extension Notice-of-Intent-not-a-solicitation

The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to negotiate an extension of the contract GS03T09DS0012 with Verizon Federal Inc. on a sole source basis, allowing performance to continue until May 31, 2023. The current contract, a regional Local Service Agreement (LSA), is set to expire on May 30, 2020, and the extension will support agencies in their transition from the Regional LSA to the follow-on Enterprise Infrastructure-Solution (EIS) contracts. Valued at an estimated $21 million, the extension is authorized under the Public Interest exemption to full and open competition, emphasizing the importance of IT modernization and ensuring continuity during this transition period. This extension is aligned with the NAICS code 517311 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers and will be performed in the Mid-Atlantic region. GSA deems this extension beneficial for enhancing cybersecurity, improving technical and operational efficiencies, and achieving long-term cost savings. This notice is not a formal solicitation but serves to inform stakeholders of GSA's intent to proceed without competition to maintain uninterrupted service and support the evolving infrastructure needs of federal agencies. The designated contracting officer overseeing this action is Jacqueline T. Stanback.
