R--Installation Support Services

This synopsis is notification of the Governments intent to modify its Installation Support Services Contract at Fort Irwin, California, Contract Number DAKF04-00-C-0002 to extend the period of performance from 01 October 2010 through 31 March 2011, in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. This increase has become necessary due to unanticipated delays in the ongoing pre-award process for a follow-on contract. Without this modification, Fort Irwin will have no contract vehicle in place and a delay would adversely impact Fort Irwins ability to meet critical installation support services during the re-solicitation of the follow-on contract. A determination not to compete this requirement is anticipated to be made pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304 (C) (1) and FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation for offers. No award will be placed solely on the basis of this notice, since synopsis of intent to place an order cannot be considered a request for proposals or offers. Responses to this notice will be used to determine if bonafide competition exists and whether a request for proposal is appropriate or feasible. Response to this notice must be made within 7 calendar days after the posted date. Fort Irwins new competitive follow-on contract is currently being prepared by the MICC-Yuma Directorate of Contracting, for a base plus four one year option periods and a synopsis notice will be posted to www.FBO.gov.
