R -- Intent to Award Sole Source Contract to Basic Contracting Services, Inc. for Security and Patrol Services

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico, plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Basic Contracting Services, Inc. to provide security and patrol services for a six-month extension from April 1, 2008, to September 30, 2008. This extension continues the existing contract HSFLC040005 and will maintain security operations until a new consolidated FLETC security contract is awarded under solicitation LGL07R00006. The contract is not open for competitive bidding, but interested parties may submit their interest in writing by February 12, 2008, at 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. The service falls under NAICS code 561612, and the contract will be managed by the FLETC Artesia Procurement Office, part of the Department of Homeland Security. Primary points of contact for this action include William Pike, Contract Specialist, and Filipita Dennis, Procurement Technician. The contract aims to ensure uninterrupted security and patrol support during the transition between contracts at the Artesia facility.
