Multimedia studio upgrade

Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Multimedia Studio Upgrade and Robotics Option

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order to J2C Enterprise LLC for a multimedia studio upgrade.

In accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, the Contractor is the only known responsible source who can provide the required service for the requirement listed below within the time frame needed.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that the NIH anticipates issuing a purchase order for a studio camera upgrade of its events management studio.  The project will include upgraded 4K capable studio camera, robotic pedestal, robotic camera head with control panel, teleprompter system, system integration and commissioning.  This is an equipment upgrade of the current an aged studio camera system.  The upgrade will allow for state-of-the-art equipment to provide 4K-capable video production.  Changing to the Robotic pedestal and controls also allows for adherence to COVID-related restrictions of physical distancing within the studio space by reducing the number of personnel needed to successfully conduct a studio production.  J2C Enterprise has immediate access to the requested equipment, which would eliminate massive delays in production due to the supply chain issues and extended deliveries.

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.  However, any party that believes it can meet the requirement as stated herein may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to perform the requirement and deliver all of the equipment specified in Attachment 1 within two (2) weeks.  A determination by the Government to compete this proposed award based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

It is anticipated that an award will be issued approximately five (5) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that another organization has the capability to meet this requirement.

Please email responses to zetherine.gore@nih.hhs.gov no later than 12:00 p.m. EST on Friday, July 15, 2022.
