- In accordance with FAR 13, this is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract, and is not a request for proposals. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Office of Chief Procurement Office (OCPO), Acquisition Operations Division, Preparedness Branch, 16825 S. Seton Avenue, Emmitsburg, MD, 21727-8998, intends to award a sole-source contract to the Southern California Earthquake Center, for earthquake risk awareness and preparedness support services. The Southern California Earthquake Center outreach activities support ShakeOut, QuakeSmart, America's PrepareAthon, and other regional and national earthquake and multi-hazard community education activities, development of stakeholder partnerships with industry, private sector and other stakeholder groups, and the increase and implementation of earthquake and multi-hazard community education activities. The Southern California Earthquake Center is the only organization that is recognized by FEMA to provide these services. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary contract personnel, materials, service, equipment and facilities to moderate high seismic risk by providing expert consulting services, program evaluation, research and analysis, partnership development, outreach and educational materials, and regional support. The Southern California Earthquake Center is uniquely positioned in the industry, and uniquely qualified as a multidisciplinary research and community education and awareness provider. This capability is based on existing business relationships and affiliations and uniquely enables the Southern California Earthquake Center to effectively collect and represent the subject matter content, and the analysis required to facilitate the tasks of this work in support the citizens, and our first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate earthquake disasters. For this support, FEMA OCPO intends to award a contract to the Southern California Earthquake Center having a (1) year performance period. The proposed contract is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government, and information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government/FEMA will not be responsible for paying for any of the costs incurred and associated with the development of any responses submitted to this posting. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 541611. Questions or comments concerning this announcement may be submitted to FEMA OCPO by 10:00 AM Eastern Time, August 19, 2013 to: Ms. Amanda Heller, Contract Specialist via e-mail: amanda.heller@fema.dhs.gov.
