Webcasting Meetings Over the Internet

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) intends to enter into a sole source contract with Online Video Service, Inc. (OVS) for maintaining the current NRC webcast website and managing all technical aspects of NRC’s current webcast infrastructure. The period of performance is six months and the NRC intends to conduct a small business set-aside competition for the immediate follow-on contract. The authority to enter into a contract on a sole-source basis with OVS is made under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 which provides for limiting competition in those situations where the supplies or services are available from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 518210 (Size Standard: $25 million). This notice of intent is neither a request for proposal nor a solicitation of offers. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on responses to the notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the NRC’s needs. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to the below address not later than 15 calendar days from the date this announcement appears in the Federal Business Opportunities. Telephonic responses and responses providing insufficient information for evaluation by the NRC will not be considered.
