The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to issue a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition procedures to Montana Education Telecommunications Network (METNET), 125 N. Roberts, Helena, MT 59620 to provide for site provisioning, scheduling, access and operation of compressed video services for the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) in Billings, MT. As a result of a Memorandum of Understanding between SSA and METNET, it was agreed by both parties to allow the OHA to use video telecommunication services provided by the State of Montana. This connection will allow OAH to use the State of Montana owned network transport services within the State of Montana to deliver high quality citizen-centered services. This is a notice of intent and a solicitation will not be issued. SSA will not respond to requests for solicitation copies and will not pay for information received in response to this announcement. Responses must provide sufficient information for SSA to determine that a firm other than Montana Education Telecommunications Network can provide the above services. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response within 5 days of this publication, a purchase order will be issued to METNET.
