70--Notice of Intent for Property Management System Upgrade

This is a Notice of Intent by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) to award a purchase order to Micros Systems, Inc for the upgrade of the existing Fidelio Express property management system to Opera Xpress. Fidelio Express has reached the end of its life cycle and will no longer be supported after the end of 2008. Opera Xpress is compatible with the existing NCTC IT/telephony systems, hotel key card, and Point of Sales system. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.

However, all proposals received within forty-five days (thirty days if award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this 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.
