U -- WELDING DESIGN AND WELDING-QV TRAINING COURSES SOL DACW87-97-R-0004 DUE 120596 POC Contract Specialist Laura S. Wilbourn (205) 895-1171 (Site Code DACA87) The U.S. Army Engineering Support Center, Huntsville, intends to award a sole source contract for instructional services for the training courses entitled ''Welding Design'' and ''Welding-QV.'' The basis for this action is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The justification for this sole-source action is that it is impractical to attempt to solicit open-competition for the revision and instructional services for these courses because Hobart School of Welding has been teaching this course for the last 12 years and no other firm has bid on this contract during that time. Offeror shall provide (other than those provided by the Government) all services, personnel, facilities, materials, training aids, and lodging necessary to develop, administer, and instruct this course of instruction. Welding Design teaches the student, with a limited knowledge of welding or no background in welding, to create and draft replacement designs, to redesign or reinforce welding designs, and to communicate this information to field personnel. All sessions will be conducted at the Contractor's facility. Welding Design dates are 5-9 May 97; optional session FY98 - 4-8 May 98; and optional session FY99 - 3-7 May 99. Welding-QV teaches the student to interpret the various methods and techniques employed in weldments assuring the quality of welds. Welding-QV dates are as follows: 3-7 Feb 97, 3-7 Mar 97, and 31 Mar - 4 Apr 97. Optional session FY98 - 2-6 Feb 98, 2-6 Mar 98, and 30 Mar - 3 Apr 98; and optional session FY99 - 1-5 Feb 99, 1-6 Mar 99, and 29 Mar - 2 Apr 99. Offeror shall provide a staff that is experienced in developing/revising, administering, and instructing short courses of instruction. The instructor staff for Welding Design will consist of two to five instructors. Instructor staff for Welding-QV will consist of two to four instructors. Other technical evaluation criteria will be set forth in the solicitation. This is not a formal solicitation. The synopsis of intent to award a sole source contract is not a request for proposals/offers. Contractors who can provide the U. S. Army Engineering Support Center, Huntsville with the above services to revise student course materials and instructor teaching materials, and administer and teach the course as specified above are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response which includes, as a minimum, the proposed credentials and qualifications, any applicable pricing data, and any additional information indicating a bona fide ability to meet this specific requirement. All responsible sources may respond to this synopsis, and all such responses will be considered by the agency. If no written responses are received within 15 calendar days, a sole source contract will be issued. See(0320)
