Washer/Dryer Extension of Service

This synopsis provides notice of the Government's intent to exercise FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services under contract FA3016-14-P-0004-P00006. The modification will be issued on a sole source basis to Excalibur Laundries, Inc. 932 S. Marquette Rd, Prairie Du Chien, WI 53821-2239 for the continuance of uninterrupted washer and dryers lease/maintenance services to support Joint Base San Antonio Fort Sam Houston, TX while the follow-0n requirement is being competed. This modification will cover up to one (1) month (March 2014) of support. Due to the ongoing nature of the services currently being performed under the contract, and the need to continue these services, Excalibur is the only practical source for providing the necessary continuation of services until award of the competitive follow-on contract. Excalibur is in-place and currently providing services without the need for demobilization or mobilization costs that would give cause to incur a break in services; thereby, mitigating impact to over 10K+ military service member's ability to wash their military and personal belongings. It is unrealistic, from a technical and contractual perspective, to expect any other potential source to provide continued services for this short period of performance prior to the competitive contract being awarded. Because of the nature of this requirement, the impracticality and substantial costs the Government would incur and not recover through competition, this extension will be procured on a sole source basis. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Any questions pertaining to this announcement shall be submitted (in writing) to Mr. Earl Boutelle at earl.h.boutelle2.civ@mail.mil
