N--Intended Sole Source for installation of radio equipment

The United States Property and Fiscal Office of the Virgin Islands plans to award a sole source contract to Royale Systems, LLC, located in St. Thomas, VI, for the installation of radio equipment. This installation is critical to enable the Virgin Islands National Guard to maintain effective communication across the three islands during emergency situations. Due to the lack of qualified alternative sources, the contract will be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures and the Other than Full and Open Competition guidelines of FAR Part 13.106-1(b). This means only one responsible source meets the agency's requirements, and the government has decided not to solicit competitive proposals. Telephonic inquiries are not allowed, and responses must be in writing by August 22, 2014, with offers submitted via email in PDF format only, including confirmation of receipt. The solicitation, identified as W9127P14Q0045, falls under NAICS code 519190 and is managed by the USPFO for Virgin Islands, part of the Department of Defense. The contracting office is based in St. Croix, VI. Interested parties that believe competition could be beneficial for future procurements are invited to submit clear and convincing evidence to that effect. The point of contact for the contract is Donna R. Prock-Ledger, who can be reached by phone at 340-712-7856 or via email at donna.r.prockledger.mil@mail.mil.
