J--Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract

The National Capital Region Contracting Center plans to award a sole source contract to Alpha Technology Group, located in Waldorf, Maryland, under the authority of urgent and compelling need regulations. This contract, targeting Information Technology services for Arlington National Cemetery, is an extension of an existing Firm-Fixed Price agreement for an additional three months starting October 1, 2010. The procurement will follow the NAICS code 811212, with a size standard of $25 million. Given the sole source nature, no solicitation or request for proposals will be issued, and competitive bidding is not planned. Interested parties may submit statements of interest and capability by September 15, 2010, but the government retains full discretion on whether to proceed without competition. Communication regarding the contract is directed solely to Contract Specialist Ms. Angela Locke via email, with phone inquiries not accepted. This approach is driven by the need to satisfy agency requirements promptly and exclusively through Alpha Technology Group, deemed the only responsible source capable of meeting the specified needs. The contract action underscores the urgency and limited availability of alternative suppliers for the IT services critical to Arlington National Cemetery operations.
