70--SECURITY SERVER PURCHASE & INSTALLATION

SECURITY SERVER PURCHASE & INSTALLATION The Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office, announces its intention to negotiate and issue a sole source award for the purchase and installation of computer servers at 14 locations throughout Utah. This action is under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures. This is an unanticipated and urgent need to keep the security systems operational at the BLM sites throughout Utah. BLM Utah currently has a contract for security maintenance, however, it was determined that this requirement is outside the scope of that work and as such, this is treated as a separate requirement. Although a new requirement, the existing security contractor (Convergint Technologies) is the only one with current background clearance and network access to be able to provide and install the servers within the short timeframe required. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, information received in response to this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response must be in writing and can be sent via email to the Contract Specialist at [email protected] by 1:00 pm MT, September 17, 2019. No phone calls will be accepted.
