Sole Source Notice - BRAC Advisory and Assitance

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation with a notice of intent to issue an order to Omnitec Solutions, Inc, 6701 Democracy Blvd., Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 20817-1828, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The proposed procurement is to provide professional advisory assistance in establishing the immediate office of the Director of Defense Media Activity. Rationale for sole source: There is an immediate need for BRAC transition advisory and assistance services while the Defense Media Activity establishes Initial Operating Capability staff support. Procurement by Other than Full and Open Competition is necessary because the need for professional assistance is urgent, and Omnitec Solutions Inc. is prepared to immediately provide the support required with the personnel who have the level of expertise needed to successfully establish the required capabilities for a new Defense Field Activity, due to their ongoing effort in Advisory and Assistance Services for BRAC contract awarded on 31 Jan 06. This is a temporary requirement (90 days only) to maintain current capability for this support until a follow-on contract for the continued provision of these highly specialized services can be fully competed to award on new contract, and will no longer be required when a replacement contract capability is fully compted and awarded. This announcement constitutes the only notice; a written solicitation will not be issued. Interested persons 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, the Government will consider all proposals received by the closing date specified in the Request for Quote (RFQ). A determination by the Government not to compete with 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.
