Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a modification on a sole source basis to an existing task order (TO), contract number HHM402-15-D-0049/HM0476-17-F-0345, with New River Systems Corporation under the authority of FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(G) and FAR 6.302-1 to continue obtaining Web and Multimedia Support to Business Operations (WMGS) through a TO issued under the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Enhanced Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (ESITE) IDIQ. The TO provides support services overseeing the creation, maintenance, and support to the Chief Information Office & IT Services (CIO-T) SharePoint web presence as part of its corporate communications mission in support of CIO-T, as well as graphics and multimedia support to the branding and marketing functions of its communications mission. Specifically, the TO provides support services for the development of content and maintenance of associated systems for agency SharePoint sites. This

includes planning, designing, and performing content enhancements to SharePoint sites, developing guidance and content standards, and ensuring that best practices and quality standards are met and maintained. The work performed under the proposed extension is a continuation of identical work currently being performed by New River Systems under ESITE TO 1.The Government requires the continuation of the support provided through ESITE TO 1 to avoid a gap in service and adverse impact to mission until a new contract is awarded for the requirements. The requirements under ESITE TO 1 are anticipated to be within the scope of NGA’s new MOJAVE follow-on contract which is planned to be awarded in FY23 via competitive procedures, and the length of the ESITE TO 1 extension is only to cover sufficient time for contract award and transitional activities. Since the MOJAVE follow-on contract is not anticipated to be awarded until FY23, if ESITE TO 1 is not extended, all support services provided under the TO cease, and it would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. A competitive acquisition and new contract award for these requirements separate from and in parallel to the MOJAVE follow-on contract would also result duplication of cost due to the multiple transitions that would occur.This is a special notice prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2, Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions and is not a request for competitive proposals. A solicitation will not be posted. As stated above, NGA is planning a competitive acquisition for these web and multimedia support requirements. This proposed extension will enable the continued performance of ESITE TO 1 through the completion of the MOJAVE follow-on acquisition and transition activities. However, any contractor that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contracting Officer no later than 1:00 pm Eastern Time (ET) on 26 September 2022. Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. Responses received will be evaluated, however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
