7G--Notice of Intent to Sole Source for VOIP Phone Sys

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) intends to award a sole source contract for a VOIP phone system to Marco Technologies, LLC. The contract will be for a Firm-Fixed Price under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Only One Source. The government has determined that only one responsible source is available due to the unique circumstances of this requirement. The select contractor will continue to supply digital phone service to the school and complete the ongoing project for the VOIP phone system. • The contract will be for a period of 30 days from the date of award. • The anticipated cost is $15,605.27. • The school's phone system is not working in some areas, creating an urgent situation. • The local telephone company does not have the necessary IT hardware to provide VOIP services. • The government does not anticipate a significant cost saving through competition, only processing delays.
