H -- Intent to Sole Source - Fuel Oil Remediation at DHS PIADC

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) intends to award, on a sole source basis, a Fuel Oil Remediation System Operation and Maintenance contract to the Miller Environmental Group (MEG). MEG's intimate knowledge of the geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of the remediation area, the subsurface, and aquifer; familiarity with PIADC's aging light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) recovery system, the existing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) manual and corrective action procedures; and the history of the spills uniquely qualifies this environmental services solution group to address PIADC's immediate needs. The contract will consist of a one-year base period with two, one-year options. This special notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, as no solicitation package will be issued; however, if a firm believes that it can meet these requirements within the prescribed time frame, it may give notification via e-mail to the Contracting Officer listed below no later than January 18, 2008, 12:00 Noon, EST. A determination not to compete the proposed acquisition, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, DHS PIADC will proceed with the sole source award to MEG.
