The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Boise VA Medical Center (BVMAC), intends to award a firm fixed price sole-source contract to Resolute Partners L.L.C., for the continuity Guest WIFI equipment and services on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The justification for this noncompetitive award is due to the equipment leased is proprietary and under warranty by Resolute Partners which provides onsite local repair, maintenance and Tech services for all equipment and data wiring. Replacement of the current equipment and maintenance warranty would result in the procurement of new equipment and/or upgrade of access points, cable runs, switches, internet service provider and management. Additionally, the time and cost to install, test, and train VA staff on the use of new proposed solution is significant and the delays in transitioning to a new service provider would cause VA to drop guest wireless internet and high speed hard lined cable internet service to Veterans and their beneficiaries in common areas in the Boise VA Hospital; common areas which include hallways corridors, waiting rooms, patient rooms, and rest areas. These areas are buildings 120, 121, 122, T-122, 6, 23, 45, 123, 67, 85a, 77, 85, 124, 27, 110, 114, 116, 117, and 88. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541519 Other Computer Related Services with a size standard of $34M. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES and no solicitation will be issued. All responses must be provided no later than 2:30 pm CST 15 March 2023, to Juan C. Perez, contract specialist at e-mail address juan.perez5@VA.GOV, phone 512-981-4467.
