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. 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. The reprocurement will comprise of a base year and four-one year options. Description: Redi-Plex/Quad Shell Unit of approximately 46 feet X 58 feet Maintaining the incumbent prevents substantial non-recoverable duplication of cost (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A)). Additional costs would be incurred due to the teardown and removal of the existing trailers, in addition to the installation and modifications of the new trailers to meet operational configuration objectives. It is not reasonable to expect to recover these costs through competition and it is not reasonable to pay for requirements the Government has already paid (i.e. communication and security configuration modifications, delivery and set-up fees). In addition, maintaining the incumbent precludes unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirements (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B)). It is required that this procurement involves no disruption in continuity or cohesion. Interested parties would have to furnish facilities on MacDill AFB during the installation, conversion and reconfiguration of the new trailers. These facilities would have to be fully capable of meeting operational objectives. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 332311.
