- Description
- In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Academy for the Center for Chemical Process Safety ™s (CCPS) HAZOP Studies and Other PHA Techniques for Process Safety and Risk Management training course, on-site at NETL ™s Morgantown, WV site location. This is considered a sole source to AIChE because, to the best of the NETL ™s knowledge based on market research conducted, this CCPS training is only available through AIChE Academy and therefore AIChE is the only known source that can provide this service. The NETL is required by DOE guidance (DOE Handbook DOE-HDBK-1100-96 “ Chemical Process Hazards Analysis) to analyze and mitigate hazards associated with in-house research projects in accordance with CCPS Hazards Analysis Techniques. Whereas there are text books for these techniques, training is required to transfer from an expert to DOE/NETL staff a common approach that is compliant with CCPS. Utilizing another training provider would not ensure consistency with CCPS techniques & terminology in the DOE Guide; by using AIChE Academy, NETL is assured the consistency between the CCPS developed approaches, the DOE Guide requirements, and NETL ™s needs are met. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 11:00 AM ET on September 17, 2018. Responses must be submitted in writing to lora.stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
