W--Extension of Services for Contract W91151-08-F-0001

This announcement is a notice of intent to extend an existing contract on a sole source basis to Canon U.S.A., 2110 Washington Boulevard Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22204-5710, for the Copier Maintenance Services contract at Fort Hood, Texas. The proposed contract action will extend the performance period of Contract W91151-08-F-0001 by three months with three one-month options 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). Estimated dollar value of this action is $470,000 for the period of performance: 1 October 2011 through 31 December 2011. The Government's intent is to extend the current services with Canon in order for Fort Hood to continue using the copiers until a new competitively awarded contract is in place. There has been an unexpected delay in the award of an enterprise-wide contract which was expected to be in place by late summer. Since the copiers remain on the installation and must be removed within the next four to six months there is no possibility that other contractors can meet the current requirement for use of these copiers until their removal. Comments should be submitted to the contracting office by email to: [email protected], no later than 23 September 2011 at 1200 CST. Comments submitted for consideration of other methods will not be evaluated. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 532420. There is no associated small business size standard.
