S -- Janitorial Services for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to negotiate a modification with A & A Facility Services, Inc. under contract no. 273-01-C-0034 as a sole source under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1 to extend the current requirement for two months. The purpose of this extension is to allow additional time for completion of the evaluation and award process for the re-competition of the janitorial requirement for the NIEHS. The provided services are commercial as defined in FAR Part 2. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 10 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. It is anticipated that the extension shall be effective December 1, 2006 and shall be completed January 31, 2007.
