The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to award a sole source purchase order to PINNACLE TOWESRS ASSET HOLDING LLC for the lease of antenna site at Laguna Peak, CA. A purchase order will be issued for a Base Year and four Option Years as follows: Period of Performance (POP): Base Year: 10/01/2020 – 09/30/2021 Option Year 1: 10/01/2021 – 09/30/2022 Option Year 2: 10/01/2022 – 09/30/2023 Option Year 3: 10/01/2023 – 09/30/2024 Option Year 4: 10/01/2024 – 09/30/2025 Due to the uniqueness of this requirement, and the geographical location of the antenna site, no other location is acceptable. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. A written solicitation will not be issued, and quotes are not being requested. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority FAR 13.106-1(b). This service is being solicited and awarded as a commercial item in accordance with FAR Part 12. Justification: This is an agent safety issue. The Contractor operates the antenna site that is uniquely located in an area which allows Criminal Investigation (CI) to maintain maximum coverage in the respective city. Furthermore, the IRS has already performed detailed propagation studies based on the elevation and placement on the tower that ensures CI gets maximum radio coverage at the location identified above. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capabilities to meet the requirements by submitting capabilities statements in writing to the IRS Primary Point of Contact via email no later than Thursday, September 17, 2020, by 12:00 PM, Pacific Day Time (PDT).
