Chicago Metropolitan Area Acquisition Bridge Contract

The current Chicago Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Contract with AT&T Corp., (GS00T99AHD0001) expires at midnight on May 19, 2008. This notice is to advise that the General Services Administration (GSA) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, for continued performance for a 7-month period beginning May 20, 2008, and ending December 19, 2008, with AT&T Corp. The contract fulfills the need for successful transition to the new CALSC Contract (GS05T07BMD009) with an estimated dollar value of $547,000.00. This contract is authorized under FAR 6-302-1, “only one responsible source, and no other services will satisfy the agency requirements”. The incumbent contractor is in place, operational and able to provide the services during this interim period with full system implementation without interruption and degradation. The current contracts expire May 20, 2008 and the agency cannot perform its mission during this interim period nor can it tolerate the disruption to its customer agencies. The interim period encompasses the time needed to finalize the current transition from the Chicago MAA Contract to the new CALSC Contract (GS05T07BMD009). The contract is necessary to allow sufficient time to implement transition from the existing Chicago MAA Contract. This is not a formal solicitation. The government does not require individual acknowledgement by potential respondents.
