- � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT FOR OUTREACH EVALUATION & ANALYSIS SERVICES� PROJECT NAME: Outreach evaluation and analysis services AGENCY Name: Department of Labor, Office of the Senior Procurement Executive (OSPE), Office of Acquisition Services (OAS) ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER: 1605-BOC-22-NAT-0000 The Department of Labor (DOL), Office of the Senior Procurement Executive (OSPE), Office of Acquisition Services (OAS), hereby submits a notice of intent to award a sole-source, blanket purchase agreement to Authentic Connections, LLC located at 11 Park Ave., Tarrytown NY 10591 to provide comprehensive outreach evaluation and analysis services for DOL enforcement agencies in various languages to include indigenous languages. The enforcement agencies contribute to DOL�s mission by ensuring worker safety, improving their working conditions, and protecting their retirement and health care benefits. In carrying out this mission, the Agencies administer and enforce a variety of Federal labor laws that guarantee workers� rights to safe and healthful working conditions, a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay, and freedom from employment discrimination, as well as the integrity of their pensions and health plans. Authentic Connections, LLC is the only vendor that is uniquely positioned to successfully ramp up and start performing the required services immediately after award. It is estimated that it would take approximately three to four months to get another contractor up to speed to be able to perform satisfactorily on the Department�s needed outreach evaluation and analysis services.� Outreach evaluation and analysis services is a top priority for DOL�s enforcement agencies and failure to award this action to Authentic Connections, LLC and bringing another vendor on board to try and execute the needed work would put the Agencies mission at an enormous risk. The period of performance will commence on August 22, 2022 and will include a twelve-month base period and two, twelve-month option periods. The contract will include FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which may extend the period of performance for up to six months. The procurement will be issued under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart FAR 13.501(a) Sole source (including brand name) acquisitions using simplified acquisition procedures per FAR Part 13. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 611430. Responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and would not delay the evaluation and analysis services. The determination not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals. A solicitation is not available. Responses to this Notice shall be submitted no later than 8:00am (ST) on August 1, 2022 to Karen Corporal at corporal.karen.a@dol.gov and Roy Massey at massey.roy.g@dol.gov. All inquires shall be submitted via e-mail (phone calls/voice mail messages will not be accepted and will not receive a response). Please indicate in the subject of your email: Notice of Intent Submission � Outreach Evaluation & Analysis Services Any future notices and announcements will be placed on SAM.gov website.
