- Description
- NAICS Code: 611699 The Environmental Protection Agency under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures of FAR Part 13 intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Ms. Joel Ann Todd. The NAICS code for this requirement is 611699. Background: EPA's environmentally preferable purchasing program has recently teamed up with the National Park Service (NPS) to bring green purchasing training and tools to park staff and managers as a means of achieving NPS sustainability goals. In March 2002, under a previous work assignment, we jointly hosted a pilot training workshop/charrette at Big Cypress National Preserve. This pilot workshop was evaluated by participants very highly and now NPS and EPA are interested in expanding these workshops to other parks, and in conducting targeted outreach and in providing technical information to parks on environmentally preferable purchasing. The goal of the workshops/charrette, as it was at Big Cypress, should be to introduce the participants to the concepts of green purchasing, to demonstrate the tools and resources that are available, and to focus them in on a few product categories that EPA is trying to emphasize. The green purchasing portion of the training should demonstrate to the participants that greener purchasing can be used as a means to achieve the sustainability goals of a park. The outreach and technical assistance on EPP should introduce park staff to EPP and should be developed to provide specific information about how to buy green alternatives to commonly purchased products and services in the parks. The outreach information should be user-friendly (easy to read and understand, with a minimum of technical jargon) and presented in a graphically pleasing way. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within fifteen (15) days after the date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete with this proposed purchase order 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 Statement of Work for this requirement will be available at the following EPA website by COB 06/14/02 Http://www.epa.gov/oamhpod1/oppts_grp/0200181/index.htm All questions should be directed via e-mail to the Contracting Officer. PHONE CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. See numbered note 1.
