- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER Subject Matter Expert and Training Services for OCDETF/AFMLS Basic Financial Investigations Seminars This announcement is a notice of intent to award a sole source purchase order to John Murphy (Murphy Partners, LLC) in accordance with FAR Part 13 "Simplified Acquisition Procedures" and FAR Part 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". The applicable NAICS Code is 611430 - Professional and Management Development Training and the size standard is $10 Million Dollars. The Department of Justice, Justice Management Division, intends to award a sole source purchase order to Mr. John Murphy (Murphy Partners, LLC) to serve as a Subject Matter Expert and to provide training services in support of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF)/Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section (AFMLS) Basic Financial Investigations Seminars (FIS) during FY 2014. The contractor will: (1) serve as a Subject Matter Expert on financial investigations, asset forfeiture, and money laundering; (2) participate in the design, development, drafting, and revision of seminar materials; (3) participate in brainstorming sessions to update training materials; (4) serve as an instructor during the Financial Investigations Seminars; and (5) serve as a discussion leader during the exercise briefings at the Financial Investigations Seminars. In 2003, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) with the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section (AFMLS) launched the Financial Investigations Initiative to teach agents, prosecutors, investigators, and other staff to trace, track, follow, and forfeit illegally obtained funds. To achieve its mission, particularly with regard to successful prosecution of drug cases and the forfeiture of assets, OCDETF/AFMLS conducts many complex multi-district and international criminal investigations and civil actions that require prosecutors, agents, investigators, and other staff who are knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled in financial investigations, money laundering, and asset forfeiture. Recent developments in the law and policy require prosecutors, agents, investigators, analysts, and other staff to have knowledge and practical skills far beyond what was required in the past. Challenges include: identification of technology to track, trace, and follow assets; analysis of financial documents; and understanding of complex asset forfeiture and money laundering statutes. These challenges necessitated the development of the Financial Investigations Curriculum; instructor-led presentations by subject matter experts; but most of all, discussion and completion of exercises in task force groups led by facilitators. Mr. John Murphy is a retired Deputy Inspector for the New York City Police Department, where he commanded the Organized Crime Investigation Division, the Joint Organized Crime Task Force (FBI) and Asset Forfeiture Unit. He was instrumental in developing and implementing the financial investigation and proactive asset forfeiture systems geared to reduce crime in New York City. As a subject matter expert in asset forfeiture, financial investigation, money laundering and organized crime, Mr. Murphy provides case consultation, case opinion, testimony, policy, procedure and systems assessment and training. Mr. Murphy served a two year judicial appointment as a Magistrate in the Fifth Judicial District of North Carolina where he conducted probable cause, pre-trial release, bond hearings, involuntary commitment hearings, and issued arrest and search warrants. Mr. Murphy has a long working relationship with the federal asset forfeiture community and has a working knowledge of the Basic Financial Investigations Curriculum. For the past ten years, OCDETF has engaged the services of Mr. Murphy to teach, update, revise, and enhance the Basic Financial Investigations Curriculum. Since the development of the Financial Investigations Curriculum in 2003, Mr. Murphy has participated in all the pilot demonstrations of this curriculum and has taught and facilitated at close to 80 Financial Investigation Seminars. Because of Mr. Murphy's working knowledge of OCDETF's and AFMLS' training initiatives, expertise in financial investigation, involvement in the development of the curricula, and vast experience in training adults in topics that are highly relevant to the course, it will be a great benefit to the Government to award a sole source purchase order to Mr. John Murphy in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. No solicitation package will be issued for this sole source requirement. However, the Department of Justice will consider any capability statements submitted by interested parties (including Company Name, DUNS Number, and verification of SAM Registration) for this requirement by the deadline. All capability statements must be submitted by email to regina.williams5@usdoj.gov by no later than 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST), on Thursday, May 1, 2014. Supporting evidence must be sufficient to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. The Government reserves the right not to open up this requirement for competition based upon responses to this notice.
