NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE

The Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting

Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with enGenius Consulting Group, Inc for the Approved Products Certification (APCO) and Transport Services (IE) support services.

A sole source Justification & Approval (J&A) document has been completed and approved in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. A copy of the redacted J&A will be posted on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR 6.305.

The proposed contract action is for the procurement of mission critical APCO and IE support services to DISA IE which provide oversight and continuity of approving authority for all

Military Departments and Department of Defense (DoD) agencies in the acquisition of communication equipment that is to be connected to the DoD Information Network (DODIN) and the Defense Information Systems Network, with an increased level of confidence through

Interoperability and Cybersecurity (IO/CS) certification. These services include maintaining the

APCO in support of the DODIN Approved Product List (APL) process and developing, operating, and maintaining the APL Integrated Tracking System which tracks and stores information regarding DoD APL IO/CS testing status to include real time contractor product plans.

As a result of a protest received for the award of Transport Services Strategic Advisory Support

(TSSAS), relevant tasks from this requirement need to be extended. This proposed bridge contract action will extend current support for the APCO and IE support services requirement to allow time for the Government Accountability Office to make a determination on the protest and to allow transition to the new TSSAS contract/order without a loss or delay of support ensuring the continuity of mission critical APCO and IE support services to DISA and the DoD community.

At this time, the incumbent contractor, enGenius Consulting Group, Inc., is the only source capable of providing all necessary services as enGenius has the historical background and a uniquely qualified team to fulfill these contract requirements with extensive past and present subject matter expertise. In addition to the APL program, the enGenius team provides additional high-level support on the Next Generation 911 Support system for the Army. This system will be implemented throughout the entire DoD, Agencies and Services.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies who believe they can provide this service must indicate their interest in writing within 15 days of this notification and include a detailed capability statement. No reimbursement for any cost connected with providing capability information will be provided. All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the determination to issue a sole-source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a request for proposal. A solicitation will NOT be posted to SAM.gov due to the sole source nature of the requirement.

The North American Classification System (NAICS) code 541512 will be used for determining company size status.
