Description:

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS

The 377 MSG Contracting Division Kirtland AFB, NM intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source follow-on contract award to Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, 4611 Montbel PL NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107-6814.

Market Research indicates that award to a new contractor would result in significant duplication of costs due to the hardware installation fees and additional startup costs.  Based on this reasoning, there is only one (1) contractor (Comcast Cable Communications, LLC) who appears to be capable of performing these services on a follow-on contract with no service interruptions and without added investment and start-up costs. 

All responsible parties may identify their interest and submit a capability statement which will be considered by the government.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  Responsible parties must clearly demonstrate in the submitted documents that there will be no service interruptions and no added investment and start-up costs associated with award of a follow-on contract to any contractor other than the incumbent contractor.  Documentation submitted will not exceed five (5) pages and will be submitted electronically to the cognizant Contract specialist listed in the first paragraph above.  A determination by the government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
