AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 17 Network Contracting Activity, plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to United Parcel Service Inc. for mailing services at the Valley Coastal Bend Texas Veterans Health Care System in Harlingen, Texas. The contract, under NAICS code 492210, is justified by the statutory authority allowing other than full and open competition because UPS is the only responsible source that can meet the agency’s requirements. The services and equipment needed must align with those currently in use at the facility, and UPS, as the sole proprietary manufacturer without distributors or sub-licensees, is uniquely positioned to fulfill this need. The contract period will run from December 16, 2013, through September 30, 2014. This notice serves to communicate the intent to award without soliciting competitive quotes, although vendors that believe they can meet the government’s needs may submit written notification by December 12, 2013, via email only. Telephone inquiries are not accepted. Any response must provide clear evidence that competition would benefit the government, and the decision to pursue a competitive procurement remains solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. No solicitation package is available, and from the government’s perspective, no other company is expected to respond to this requirement.
