Notice of Intent to Sole Source

Notice of Intent to Sole Source:
The Naval Supply (NAVSUP) Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), FL intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Comcast Government Services.. Cable TV infrastructure at these locations are owned/managed by Comcast. All digital receivers are proprietary in nature and cannot be utilized by other vendors to provide
services. An award to any other source would jeopardize compatibility with existing equipment and/or would result in substantial duplication of cost or additional cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, in addition to unacceptable delays in meeting the Government requirements. Similar products lack features that are necessary to meet the Government's minimum needs or other contractors are not qualified to perform necessary services.  All sources eligible to provide this requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide this requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received within 5 calendar day after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable items are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining this product through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to dwayne.k.davis2.civ@us.navy.mil.
