- Description
- The Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk intends to procure an online medical education system to standardize and centralize curriculum for annual regulatory and mandatory training and on-line Continuing Education (CE). The resultant contractor will provide a web-based platform that includes the required Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) Programs available to the entire Navy Enterprise in support of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). This is a sole source action to be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to Swank Motion Pictures, Inc. of St. Louis, MO as an Enterprise Licensure. The existing contract is N00189-14-P-Z783 which was awarded to Swank Motion Pictures Inc. via sole source basis. Currently deployed platforms have failed to centralize training to ensure effective and efficient communication of training requirements, access to training, training delivery, reporting and tracking of requirement compliance for the Total Force. Separating the requirement across different platforms would result in duplicative courses, software licenses and metric reporting tools. It is best to have one Enterprise Licensure for the entire Navy enterprise for efficient and reliable reporting to meet training readiness. Swank Motion Pictures is a distributor of online healthcare education for civilian and military hospitals, clinics and medical treatment facilities worldwide. Swank is the only provider of over 500 new accredited courses per year with a broad curriculum across fourteen (14) distinct disciplines and professions. Swank ™s courses are designed to meet current regulatory compliance as mandated by The Joint Commission, OSHA and other governing entities. The vendor updates course content annually to ensure that they remain in compliance. Organizations within the Navy enterprise have the ability to post site specific training on Swank ™s Learning Management System (LMS) platform at no additional charge. More specifically, other organizations, including Army and Air Force, also utilize Swank as the LMS, allowing interoperability. Swank Motion Pictures is the only firm that provides accredited CME and CE coursework in support of all four (4) Navy Medical Corps Communities (Medical, Dental, Nurse, and Medical Services Corps) that encompass the major hospital staff elements as addressed above and does so via centralized web-based platform. No other firm possesses or provides web-based accredited CME and CE coursework for all four of the Navy Medical Corps Communities. Furthermore, no other firm provides key medical topics that are mission centric from a deployment readiness platform prospective. It is essential that the Navy award a single contract for its distance-based CME and CE coursework to ensure standardization, centralization, and consistency in the delivery and licensure of continuing medical technical and professional training in support of its geographically dispersed and decentralized Navy command component. No other company can meet the requirement that satisfies the government ™s minimum need. The procurement is being processed pursuant to the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Swank Motion Pictures since they are the only known source with the capability of satisfying the Government ™s requirements at this time. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded as a result of the solicitation, consisting of a one-year base period with four (4), one-year option periods. The period of performance for this acquisition is anticipated to begin on 29 September 2015. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541990. This acquisition will be conducted utilizing the FAR Part 13.5 for Test Program Procedures for SAP Commercial Items. For questions regarding this announcement, please contact Mr. Devin Leung who can be reached at 215.697.9728 or devin.leung@navy.mil. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETTIVE PROPOSALS. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement and may submit information that shall be considered by FLC Norfolk Philadelphia Office. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice 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. Any responses to this synopsis should be sent to the attention of Devin Leung at devin.leung@navy.mil. These responses shall be received no later than 03 August 2015.
