The sole source authority FAR Section 6.302-1(a)(2), the service is available from only one source capable of providing and satisfying the agency requirement. Market research was conducted to determine availability of sources. It was determined that because NORC conducts a GSS and is to date the only organization that has an approved proposal to collect the required data, and NORC is set to begin collecting data in 2012, that NORC would be the best source for the requirement. CDC is not requesting competitive proposals and no solicitation is available.
