D--Satellite Internet Services

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Western Regional Office, Phoenix, AZ will issue a sole source award under a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, FAR 6.302-1 “Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirementsâ€� to Port Graham Technologies, LLC for temporary six (6) months continued Satellite Internet Services (beginning 03-25-2018 through 08-31-2018) for the fixed price of $7,767.00 ($1,294.50 monthly service fee) for the BIA Colorado River Branch of Electrical Services, Parker, AZ. Current services are being provided under Purchase Order A17PX00640 which will expire on 03-24-2018 (issued from RFQ Solicitation No. A17PS00403, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside, which did not include Option Year clauses). The $1.294.50 monthly service fee is determined to be a “fair and reasonableâ€� price as it is $2.59 less than Port Graham Technologies’ monthly service fee price ($1,297.09) amount for Option Year One in response to the initial ISBEE set-aside RFQ A17PS00403. The temporary award will provide time for the BIA to compete the requirement under a new Request for Quote (RFQ) ISBEE set-aside solicitation; it is expected that the new RFQ solicitation document will be issued no later than May 31, 2018. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation is available for this requirement. If a firm believes that BIA should not pursue this procurement, it should submit a capability statement and pricing information for the requirement by 9:00 a.m. MST on March 20, 2018 via email to [email protected]. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
