Hartley, Contracting Officer, 301-443-7848 E-MAIL: program support center, bhartley@psc.gov. DHHS/PSC/DAM intends to award an eleven month sole source simplified acquisition to the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) located in Alexandria, VA. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, has a requirement for the preparation and presentation of an international action plan for the promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental and behavioral disorders. The plan shall be about specific actions countries can take to promote mental health and prevent mental and behavioral disorders. It will be disseminated worldwide. Since WFMH is the primary sponsor of the upcoming Inaugural World Conference on the Promotion of Mental Health and Prevention of Mental and Behavioral Disorders, and because of its strategic connections essential to the outcome of the conference, it is the most appropriate organization to oversee the development, management, production, and dissemination of the conference proceedings. No solicitation is available. Any requests for solicitation packages will be considered nonresponsive. The proposed simplified acquisition action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested concerns may identify their interest and must submit written documentation that demonstrates their ability to furnish the requirement, including technical and pricing data, within 15 days after the date of publication of this notice. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 15 days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received, the Contracting Officer will proceed to issue a purchase order to WFMH. Responses must be in writing and refer to 00M008397 to the attention of Bettie Hartley. Posted 08/03/00 (W-SN481930). (0216)
