This procurement action is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 with the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (c), as only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the requirement; therefore proposals cannot be submitted directly on this notice. The Transportation Security Administration intends to award a sole-source Lease Contract to Boston-Logan International Airport, Massachusetts Port Authority, whose address is One Harborside Drive, Suite 200S, East Boston, MA 02128-2909. TSA space must be located on airport property for TSA to effectively carry out its mission. The TSA has been occupying space at Boston-Logan International airport since January 1, 2003. TSA currently occupies 11,251 square feet of space in BOS Terminals A, B, C and E. The space is utilized as break, training, and administrative space by the Transportation Security Administration staff. TSA employs more than 45,000 security screeners and provides guidance and training to flight crews for dealing with threats on board aircraft. Since February 17, 2002, TSA has been responsible for all civil aviation security functions. Because these tasks are directly related to the screening of passengers at the airport, this space must be located on airport property. The Transportation Security Administration intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. This sole source procurement is based on 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) which states that supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source procurement action and is not a request for competitive proposals. All interested firms must respond by January 23, 2009 5:00 p.m. local Washington D.C. time to Rebecca Leake Kruse, REF: HSTS01-09-L-RES179, Rebecca.Leake@dhs.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Transportation Security Administration will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information
