Original Set Aside:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Radiation and Indoor Air’s (ORIA) National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) in Montgomery, AL has a requirement for continuation of services under the current contract, GS00Q09BGD0039, task order number EP-G17H-01391, as described below. The subject task order expires on 08/31/2022. The contract for follow-on services will not be awarded prior to the expiration date of EP-G17H-01391. The services under this contract are critical and cannot lapse and therefore, the EPA intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, with Leidos, Inc. located at 700 N. Frederick Ave., Gaithersburg, MD 20879-3328. A modification will be done to the subject contract to extend services for six (6) months until a replacement contract has been awarded. During this six (6) month extension Leidos, Inc. will continue to provide IT support services in accordance with the current task order. Leidos, Inc. is best suited for continuing to provide services and support for the six (6) month extension as they have the necessary expertise and in-depth knowledge that is required to guarantee continuity of IT support services for NAREL activities while Leidos, Inc. repairs a critical issue in its RadNet Data Review Application (RDRA). This is a short-term extension to the subject contract to ensure that NAREL has continued IT support services. Leidos, Inc. has adequately supported NAREL since being awarded the contract in 2016. The Government is not stating that there are no other contractors who can provide these IT support services. The Government is instead stating that considering the short period of performance contemplated within this extension that no other contractor could transition this workload from Leidos, Inc. and efficiently continue performance without potential reduced services, increased costs, and unnecessary risks to the Government. This six (6) month extension of services is not an attempt by the Government to limit competition to the incumbent contractor but to ensure that there is no lapse in IT support services for the agency and provide additional time for the award of a follow-on contract. In accordance with FAR Part 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the Agency. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the direction of the Government. This Notice of Intent is not a request for proposals. This notice of intent is for information purposes only; therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. All capability statements received within 15 days after publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined and itemized pricing that is sufficient to decide that competition is feasible. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Submit capability statements via email (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Contract Specialist, Harold Day, at Day.Harold@epa.gov. No telephone calls will be accepted.
