Web content management and new media support

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL

This is a notice of intent to issue an order to General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., 3211 Jermantown Rd, Fairfax, VA 22030-2844, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements, 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1) (Sole Source J & A attached). The proposed procurement is to provide high-quality information technology, engineering, and development services to support OASD/PA and DMAs mission requirements for communicating with various audiences using DefenseLINK.mil, the official home page of the U.S. Department of Defense, and other Internet technologies. Services include managing content on DefenseLINK.mil and associated sites; providing multimedia and graphic design development for DefenseLINK and other Defense Department sites, such as DotMilDocs and DoD Bloggers Roundtable; providing evaluative services for Emerging Media technologies and tools to be used by DoD; and responding to public queries submitted through DefenseLINK and through automated methods. Rationale for sole source: This sole source procurement is needed to eliminate disruption in services and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agencys requirements. DefenseLINK receives more than 19 million unique visitors a year, therefore, it is mission critical to ensure continuity of this service requirement is not disrupted. This is a temporary requirement (4 month bridge contract) to maintain current capability for this support until a follow-on contract for continued provisions of high-quality information technology, engineering, and development services can be fully competed to award a new contract, and will no longer be required when a replacement contract capability is fully competed and awarded. Written response should be submitted within 15 days of this publication of notice. Written response can be faxed to (951) 413-2432 or Email to bernice.homan@dma.mil.
