One (1) Month Extension

Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Installation Contracting Office, Fort Gordon, GA intends to issue a modification to exercise the extension clause FAR 52.217-8 “Option to Extend Services. This is firm-fixed service provided by Creative Business Solutions, Inc., on delivery order GS35F010DA W91249-18-F-0028. The extension is for one (1) month, from 1 April 2021 through 30 April 2021. This action is required to maintain continuity of services while allowing sufficient time to transition to the newly competed Service-Disable Veteran-owned Small Business follow-on contract. Pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Given the complexity and magnitude of the contracted effort, and the critical need to avoid a break in service, it would be unduly disruptive to initiate a time-consuming competitive award process for the one-month extension period. Any break in service currently provided under the existing contract would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirement. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to extend the existing contract utilizing FAR 52.217-8. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS and a solicitation will not be issued. Interested concerns must show clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written responses are received by 1:00 PM, EST on 29 March 2021, and extension will be executed without further notice. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses may be submitted to [email protected].
