FISC Norfolk Detachment Philadelphia proposes to modify existing contract N00140-93-C-CC49 with EMSA Limited Partnership in order to allow for an additional seven months of Emergency Room Physician and Register Nurse services at the Naval Hospital Groton, CT. These services shall consist of a four (4) month period of performance commencing 01 October 1997, with three (3), one (1) month option provisions. If all options are exercised, services will end 30 April 1998. The Contractor is required to provide services on a 24 hour per day basis. The projected number of hours to be provided by the contractor per month are estimated as follows: ER Medical Director -184 hrs.; ER Nurse Manager -- 184 hrs.; ER Staff Physicians -- 744 hrs.; ER Registered Nurses -- 1488 hrs.; plus the additional optional services of an ER Staff Physician -- 61 hrs. per month. This action is required in order to provide continuity of services before a follow-on contract can be placed. This firm is considered the only supplier of these services at this time, as they are the only firm which can timely support the immediate needs of the Government without a costly start-up period. This extension modification to contract 93-C-CC49 is for services which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interests and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
