- Description
- Draft PWS THIS IS A NOI to Sole Source ONLY. The U.S. Government currently intends to award a contract for a training facility within 100 miles of Fort Benning, GA capable of allowing 3/75 to conduct a three day training exercise IAW the PWS on a SOLE SOURCE basis, but is seeking vendors that may be able to perform this requirement in order to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this sources sought synopsis. In addition, small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), must describe their identifying capabilities in meeting the requirements at a fair market price, i.e., information which may help support a set-aside. The proposed sole source firm fixed price (FFP) purchase order to Guardian Centers of Georgia, LLC, for training facility. The statutory authority for the sole source procurement is FAR 13.106-1(b) (1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization. Guardian Centers of Georgia, LLC was selected by the 75th Ranger Regiment because historical contracting data indicated that this is the only vendor that can provide the training area within the mile range that is large enough to house all the personnel and training scenarios that are required IAW the PWS. This notice does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this sources sought notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor Government-wide Point of Entry for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
