AI Contract Overview

The General Services Administration (GSA) Region 1 Acquisition Branch intends to issue a sole source, short-term "bridge" contract for janitorial, mechanical operations, maintenance repairs, and quality control services at the Robert N. Giaimo and Richard C. Lee Federal Building and Courthouse in New Haven, CT, and the Brien McMahon Federal Building and Courthouse in Bridgeport, CT. This contract, which will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1 authority allowing for other than full and open competition due to the presence of only one responsible source, aims to ensure uninterrupted critical services. The incumbent contractor, Northern Management Services, Inc., currently performing satisfactorily and possessing detailed knowledge of the facilities and systems, will be awarded the contract for a six-month period ending December 31, 2012. The agency justifies the sole source award based on the necessity of maintaining continuous services through July 1, 2012, and the impracticality of competitively procuring within the compressed timeframe. While this announcement does not constitute a solicitation for proposals, GSA will consider capability statements from small businesses submitted by June 14, 2012, to evaluate potential competitive procurement options. Ultimately, however, the decision not to competitively award the contract remains at the government's discretion. Questions and responses are managed by designated GSA representatives located in Boston, MA.

Full Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT Solicitation Number: TBD Agency: GSA, Region 1, PBS, 1PSA Location: Robert N. Giaimo and Richard C. Lee Federal Building and Courthouse New Haven, CT and Brien McMahon Federal Building and Courthouse, Bridgeport, CT Synopsis: This announcement is a notice of intent to issue a sole source contract under the requirements of FAR Part 15 and FAR 6.302-1," Other Than Full and Open Competition - one responsible source". The applicable NAICS code 561210 Facilities Support Services with a size standard of 35.5 million. GSA Region 1 Acquisition Branch (1PSA) intends to issue a sole source, commercial item contract for janitorial services; mechanical operations; maintenance repairs; and, quality control services at the Robert N. Giaimo and Richard C. Lee Federal Building and Courthouse New Haven, CT and Brien McMahon Federal Building and Courthouse, Bridgeport, CT. This contract is being awarded under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 - "Only one responsible source" as the only viable course of action that provides uninterrupted continuation of critical services. This contract will be awarded as new short-term "bridge" contract with the incumbent contractor, Northern Management Services, Inc., 607 Church Street, Sandpoint, ID. 83864. The contract will expire 31 December 2012. The proposed bridge contract will be for a period of 6 months. This will provide for continuation of current services while the requirement is solicited and awarded on a competitive basis. Continuation of critical services requires that this contract be awarded no later than 01 July 2012. Due to the compressed timeframe, it is neither practical nor possible to compete this short-term contract and still provide uninterrupted services. The incumbent is currently performing the work satisfactorily and has a working knowledge of the facilities, mechanical systems, and day-to-day requirements. Other contractors could not mobilize quickly enough and do not have the experience needed to provide services seamlessly in these buildings on such short notice and at a fair and reasonable price. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, GSA will consider any capability statements received by 2 pm EST on Thursday, 14 June 2012. Capability statements would normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any respondent companies must be a small business. Responses should be emailed to Ms. Kimberly Yates, Contracting Officer, at kimberly.yates@gsa.gov so that they are received no later than 14 June 2012.
