V--NOTICE OF INTENT TO EXTEND CONTRACT W912CM-08-D-7511

The Department of Defense, through the Expeditionary Contracting Command and the 409th Contracting Support Brigade, plans to extend the existing contract with Fanciulli Egisto, Franco, & Co. SAS for stevedoring and related terminal services at the Port of Talamone, Italy. This extension covers a four-month period from October 1, 2011, to January 31, 2012, and is necessary due to unforeseen delays in securing a new contract for these services. The extension will maintain all current services as outlined under the existing contract W912CM-08-D-7511, ensuring continuity of operations during the procurement process overseen by the 409th CSB, Theater Contracting Center in Germany. This extension is not a solicitation for new proposals but a formal notice of intent to continue using the incumbent contractor to allow for completion of the follow-on contract action. The decision to extend is justified under local contracting clauses and aims to avoid service disruption at the port. Any information or responses related to this notice are directed to the contracting office via the specified email contact. The contract supports operations under NAICS code 488320, reflecting the stevedoring and terminal services area, and reflects a standard administrative action by the Department of Defense in managing contingency contracting requirements in theater.
