- Description
- Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, the DOE is planning a sole source follow-on contract (DE-AC01-01IA40017) for payment processing and verification support services in the countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU). In the absence of applicable Government to Government Agreements, a requirement is jointly held by the; Office of International Science and Technology Cooperation (PI), the Office of Environmental Management; Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology, Office of Science and Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. Added to the list of Offices will be the Offices for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) since DOE provides direct administrative and contract support for its agency mission. These Program Offices have an existing and continuing need to acquire the services of a non-profit entity having confirmed tax-free status in FSU countries. The planned contact period is sixty (60) months from date of award. The non-profit entity must clearly demonstrate that it is exempt from such taxation or any taxable incident thereof by Russian Federation or other FSU country decree, order, law, or other evidence clearly demonstrating the legality of such exemption from taxation. Currently, the United States Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union, 1530 Wilson Blvd., 3rd Floor, Arlington, VA 22209 provides payment processing and verification support services to DOE???s/NNSA???s, Office of Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) within the FSU. CRDF has in-country resources and capabilities in the FSU for making payments to former weapons institutes, scientists, engineers and support staff. While other Government and commercial entities may have such capabilities, none have responded to date previous sources sought notices for identical support services for DOE???s programs. It is DOE???s intent to issue a sole source contract its Office of International Science and Technology Cooperation via a the firm-fixed price, rate structure, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, task assignment contract to CRDF for the services described above. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort is based upon this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS OR AN INVITATION FOR BIDS, NOR DOES IT REPRESENT A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR COSTS INCURRED IN THE PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF DATA OR ANY OTHER COSTS INCURRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. Interested parties having all the capabilities to perform the services described above are requested to send in its capability statements via electronic submission to matthew.phelps@hq.doe.gov, limited to not more than 10 pages, to be received with 11 days of publication of this notice.
