- J&A The 10th Mission Support Group, Directorate of Contracting, United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Colorado has received a Sole Source justification for the purchase of annual maintenance for the Motorola LMR Trunking System, all ready in place at (USAFA). This notice document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53, 4 Aug 2011. The North American Industry Classification System Code [NAICS] is 423430 and the size standard is 100 employees. Currently, Motorola's extended service warranty covers the entire radio infrastructure which consists of thirteen systems and one conventional site. This system design along with all of the radio equipment used on the USAFA Trunked Radio System is proprietary intellectual property owned by Motorola. As the prime manufacturer, Motorola, Inc. holds proprietary data rights to the equipment and has no authorized distributors or service providers for depot maintenance. Any maintenance performed on existing Motorola equipment must be performed by Motorola trained personnel due to proprietary intellectual properties, proprietary data and copyrights to equipment held by Motorola. Therefore, Motorola is the only source that can satisfy agency requirements. Delivery is to be made to the U.S. Air Force Academy. FOB: Destination. This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. DO NOT submit a bid/quote at this time. Any offerors believing they can provide the required maintenance for the Motorola Trunking System may provide evidence for consideration. Evidence must support the offeror's claim they can provide all services with properly qualified personnel as identified in the agreement. All qualified sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by this agency. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement can be conducted. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be received NLT 1000 MST on 16 September 2011. Responses received after this will be considered late IAW FAR 52.212-1(f) and will not be evaluated. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this announcement. Contractors must have a current registration with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov and with Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov. Questions should be addressed to the Primary POC Jerry Smith, Contract Specialist, (719) 333-3587 or sent via e-mail to jerry.smith@usafa.af.mil. Alternate POC is Russell W. Jordan, Contracting Officer, (719) 333-3961, russ.jordan@usafa.af.mil. 5352.201-9101 OMBUDSMAN (AUG 2005) (a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the USAF Academy Ombudsmen, Kelly Snyder 8110 Industrial Drive, Ste 103 USAFA, CO 80840 Telephone number 719-333-2074 FAX 719-333-9018 email: kelly.snyder@usafa.af.mil Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067. (d) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. (e) Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer.
