THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, Contractors may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the contracting officer whether to continue with the sole source procurement or to provide for competition after identification of a MBSS system/equipment with the same functionality of the nCare Image Management System be made. Such responses MUST be received no later than July 25, at 5 PM EST. All documents submitted will not be returned. All interested parties shall submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their capabilities to satisfy the requirement listed to forward responses by e-mail to Joseph Locke, Contracting Officer, joseph.locke@va.gov.
