[email protected]. USA Mobility Wireless, Incorporated is currently providing wireless local and multi-state telecommunication pagers and paging services for the Veteran Administration Medical Centers located at Lexington, KY; Louisville, KY; Memphis, TN; Mountain Home, TN; and their outlying CBOCs. The wireless telecommunication services provided by USA Mobility Wireless, Incorporated are existing services for these locations, and are provided under a GSA Contract GS-35F-0262T. These wireless telecommunication paging services are used by clinical and administrative personnel in the completion of their daily duties, and are scheduled to be transitioned over to a Region 3 OI&T Regional Contract at the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2015. Substantial duplication of cost to the Government is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements would occur. Under the authority FAR Part 8.405-6(b)(1), it allows for the procurement of items through other than full and open competition; applicable when "only one source is capable of responding due to the unique or specialized nature of the work." USA Mobility Wireless, Incorporated is the only known local source available to satisfy these current needs.
