- Description
- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development intends to negotiate and award on a Sole Source basis to GuideStar- Philanthropic Research Inc., 4801 Courthouse Street, Suite 220, Williamsburg, VA 23188 under the authority 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. This acquisition is for a commercially-available online subscription service. The Office of Housing Counseling (OHC) has a need to review housing counseling applications for the Office of Housing Counseling Program. Guide star is the only source that can provide a digitized database that contains information on charitable organizations. There is no other organization currently collecting and managing the scope, volume, and depth of current nonprofit data that Guide star maintains. Guide star is used to verify the names of board members, physical location of agency, mission statements, and financial information including IRS form 990's. The purpose of this requirement is to provide HUD with subscription services that assist the Housing Counseling program with background information on Housing Counseling applications. OHC can determine if board members are compensated and if a housing counseling agency has sufficient financial capacity. The NAICS code is 519130 and the size standard is 500 employees. The period of performance for a 12 months Award for this requirement will be in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and Part 13. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. However, any firm that believes it can meet these requirements may submit a written response via email to Sarah Heyward at Sarah.L.Heyward@hud.gov. by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on September 21, 2015. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement. Information received will be considered; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the HUD will proceed with the sole source award to Guide Star. The anticipated award date of this requirement is on or around September 22, 2015. No collect calls will be accepted. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Sarah Heyward at Sarah.L.Heyward@hud.gov.
