- Description
- The United States Postal Service is actively working to develop and implement its requirements for its Phase 3 Mail Processing Infrastructure (MPI) program and is seeking sources to pre-qualify for these requirements. The requirements include pre-installation, installation, and post installation activities necessary for successful structured wiring implementation upgrading of base-band local area network (LAN) wiring at approximately 160 small, medium and large Mail Processing and Distribution Centers (P&DCs); approximately 21 administrative LANs co-located at P&DCs receiving workroom floor upgrades; provide standard MPI documentation in facilitating support of the LANs to provide a uniform approach to troubleshooting and maintaining all local network components. The purpose of this notice seeking sources to pre-qualify is to afford prospective suppliers the opportunity to submit their request to be considered as a pre-qualified supplier for these requirements. Only those suppliers who wish to be a prime contractor need respond to this announcement. Pre-qualified suppliers are companies whose record of performance in the marketplace (Postal Service, other government, or commercial) has demonstrated their ability to perform to consistently high standards of quality and reliability. The pre-qualified suppliers list will remain in effect for a five-year period and will be used for the current Mail Processing Infrastructure Phase 3 requirements and for any additional follow-on requirements deemed appropriate during the five-year period. The Postal Service may consider additional suppliers for pre-qualification during this five year period based upon their ability to demonstrate a record of performance with consistently high standards of quality and reliability in the marketplace (Postal Service, other government, or commercial). Any entity seeking pre-qualification after the initial list of pre-qualified suppliers has been established must provide the same prequalification information below. Suppliers should demonstrate their capability to meet the following qualifications; working knowledge of Federal, state, local and industry electric codes; experience in installation of LAN networks in large 24 hour production facilities (Postal facility experience preferred); minimum of one currently Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) engineer assigned to the MPI Program effort supporting all system design matters; current membership in and Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI) certification; experienced CAD operators; engineering design capabilities to support system design and installation; Microsoft office products computer skills; ability to manage and meet schedule dates at multiple concurrent site installations at diverse locations throughout the country; configuration control management; demonstrated project management capabilities for programs of similar magnitude (Postal experience preferred) and quality to include warranty support and certification which will form the qualified base for the Mail Processing Infrastructure requirements. The United States Postal Service reserves the right not to award, or to award a single or multiple contracts for Mail Processing Infrastructure requirements; the instant Phase 3 requirements are contemplated in resulting in two or more awards to suppliers pre-qualified to participate in the Mail Processing Infrastructure requirements.
