NGB intends to award this sole source contract to Microsystems Consultants, Inc. because it is vital for services to remain with the incumbent contractor as they are the only responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). This increased effort was unforeseen at the original time of solicitation/award of the incumbent contract (GS00Q14OADS127 / W9133L15F0038). Competition was not sought for this requirement as the solicitation for the follow-on requirement is currently out for proposals and the Government anticipates award no later than May 2021. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
