Notice of Intent

GSA Schedule 70, SIN 132-51, Information Technology Professional Services. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a requirement for continuation of services under the current task order contract, GS-35F-0255X EP-G15H-01158, as described below.

The EPA Office of Mission Support’s (OMS), Office of Environmental Information (OEI),  has a requirement for Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) Application Support. This requirement is currently being performed under GSA Schedule GS-35F-0255X, Task Order EP-G15H-01158.

The incumbent Contractor provides continued operational and development support of Office of Information Technology Operation (OITO’s) management and implementation of secure information technology (IT) infrastructure for the entire EPA.

The Government intends to compete, negotiate, and award a follow-on contract for a one-year base period and four one-year option periods in accordance with the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR). However, due to delays in the acquisition process, the contract for follow on services will not be awarded prior to the current expiration date of January 15, 2021. Since the services of the contract are critical and cannot lapse, the EPA must extend the period of performance of the current contract for an additional four months to allow time for the new follow on contract to be awarded. The EPA intends to negotiate this period of performance extension on a sole source basis.

There are no other contractors that have the capability of providing the level, breath, depth of support, and continuity of services that are required by OIE for management and implementation of secure information technology (IT) infrastructure for the entire EPA.

This notice will be posted for 15 calendar days.

The intent of this notice alerts the vendor community to the extension of the existing task order, and the upcoming opportunity for competition of this opportunity. This notification alerts all vendors to this action and to determine if any other source (s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation is available. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract extension based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether competition is viable. Responses to this notice should be submitted to the Contract Specialist, Olin D.
