----Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Professional Project Services, Inc.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) AND NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. The U.S. Department of Energy?s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) intends to issue a firm-fixed award to a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i)(ii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements, to Professional Project Services, Inc. (PS2). The requirement is for updating engineering design specifications and drawings previously provided to the DOE?s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) under contract DE-DT0010367, awarded to P2S on 9/30/2015. The contractor shall also provide engineering, design, and inspection activities supporting the implementation and installation of the HVAC system for which the engineering design specifications and drawings were developed under contract DE-DT0010367. The engineering design specifications and drawings developed under contract DE-DT0010367 are copyrighted by P2S. As such, no other vendor could make modifications to the existing design and drawings. Procuring the services of another vendor to redo/verify the engineering design specifications and drawings is time and cost prohibitive. Seeking these services via another contractor would result in duplication of costs that could not be recovered over the period of performance for this contract. This award is NOT for the installation of the HVAC system. Therefore, the sole source award to PS2, is in the best interest of the government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541330 Engineering Services. The size standard associated with NAICS 541330 is $15 million. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes. Any vendor who believes it can meet the requirement as stated herein may submit a response, which will be considered only if received by April 27, 2018 by 5:00 p.m. EST. Questions should be submitted no later than April 24, 2018 by 5:00 p.m EST. Responses to this posting must be in writing and submitted to Tammy Payne at contact@example.gov. A determination not to compete the proposed order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Please note that any prospective offeror must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov prior to award in accordance with FAR part 4.11.
