US Exports State Department CLIN Exercised

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE; this is a notice of the government's intent to award a task order on a limited source basis to Salient Federal Solutions Inc., 4000 Legato road STE 600, Fairfax VA 22033-2893 pursuant to FAR PART 16.505(b)(2)(i)(c), because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the current contract HC1028-10-F-2176. This proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(c). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is being done in the interest of efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, being that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. The current task order is set to expire in MAR 2015, providing little time to engage in a thorough source selection for the required services. If a source selection were conducted, it would put the Government at risk, in regards to a lapse in service. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government intends to solicit the required services competitively within the next 18 - 24 months. The first requirement is day to day IT operations and maintenance support of all DTSA mission essential functions is the base requirement of the program/efforts to be contracted. A secondary requirement is systems enhancement support for the Presidential Initiative - Export Control Reform (ECR). This effort includes enhancements and transitions to "production status", for multiple DTSA developed, owned, and operated systems that enable cross governmental organizations and entities to exchange, modify, manipulate, and store data of multiple types in multiple formats. The third requirement is the ongoing support for DTSA Security Policy Automation Network (SPAN) programs maintenance inclusive of bug/error program coding corrections and enhancement of existing codes functionalities. End-User support and training efforts are to be provided for both standard office productivity programs and the DTSA SPAN programs. Intended Period of Performance: March 2015 to March 2016 Awarding the proposed contract to another source would result in unacceptable delays and substantial costs to the Government, as the new source would require time to develop and skills needed to meet the immediate requirement. Based on the time constraint and expected increase in cost inherent to awarding to another contractor, it is not in the best interest of the Government to award to any vendor other than Salient Federal Solutions at this time. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The Government does not intend to pay for information provided in response to this publication. Written respones to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability of fulfill this requirement. All interested parties shall submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their capabilities to satisfy the requirements listed above to Anthony Hawkins by email at contact@example.gov. The capability documentation should include general information and technical background describing in detail the prospective contractor's capabilities and experience that will demonstrate the ability to support these requirements.
