- Description
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management (FEMA)/National Emergency Training Center (NETC), Emergency Management Institute (EMI) intends to negotiate on a Sole-Source basis, under the Authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), with the American Council on Education (ACE) located at One DuPont Circle, N.W. Suite 250, Washington DC, 20036-1149. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 611710 with a Small Business Size Standard of $7.0 million. ACE reviews EMI's Resident and Field courses to determine their eligibility for inclusion in the National Guide for Education Credit for Training Programs. EMI students who are enrolled in a degree program at a university may request that the ACE recommendation for an EMI course be applied as credit toward their degree. This arrangement enhances career development for the student and academic status for the EMI curriculum. For EMI Resident courses, EMI students can obtain transcripts from the NETC Admissions Office. The two general objectives for ACE review of EMI curricula are to 1) Ensure the compatibility of EMI training with National college-level academic standards; and 2) Provide support for students from emergency management organizations to enter and continue college degree programs. ACE is the only existing national organization that conducts a formal curriculum review and recommends college credit for non-collegiate training. Colleges and universities throughout the country generally recognize ACE recommendations for credit. This notice of intent to sole source is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same services. Capability statements shall be submitted by email only as a MS Word or Adobe PDF attachment to Laura Harshbarger at laura.harshbarger@fema.dhs.gov. Statements are due by 12:00 PM EST, 06 February 2012. No phone calls accepted. All capability statements received within 10 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on 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.
