- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate with the Montana Education Telecommunications Network (METNET), located at the Mitchell Building, Helena, Montana 59620, on a sole source basis under the authority of Section 4202 of Pub. L. 104-106 and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subsection 13.501. SSA intends to purchase state-wide site provisioning, scheduling, access and operation of compressed video services for the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Helena, MT. The Contractor will allow the ODAR to use video telecommunication services provided by the State of Montana. This connection will allow ODAR to use the State of Montana-owned network transport services with Montana to delivery high quality citizen-centered services. ODAR requires the capability to provide services to people in remote areas of Montana. The multiple areas around the state offer the public access to SSA services via the state-owned Video Teleconferencing Network. These services ensure that travel time and expenses for claimants are minimized if they were to travel to an SSA office. METNET is the only known responsible source that is authorized by the State of Montana to provide the required services and facilities through their combination of wide geographic coverage throughout the State of Montana and their technical expertise with video telecommunication. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. This is a notice of intent and a solicitation will not be issued. Therefore, SSA will not respond to a request for solicitation copies and will not pay for information received in response to this announcement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed order 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 to conduct a competitive procurement. All responses to this notice shall be submitted no later than three (3) business days of this publication. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please notify the point of contact listed below.
