E-MAIL: Kimberly D. Duncan, k.d.duncan@larc.nasa.gov. NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for continuation of services for the National Transonic Facility (NTF) Revitatlization team. This requirement is for a leadership class specifically designed for the NTF personnel based on previous assessments by the Auburn Group and for services that will concentrate on a detailed implementation plan based on the three previous phase of the staff assessments. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Auburn Group, which has unique services available from only one source. The Auburn Group has designed the leadership training based on the staff assessments they have previously performed. For another company to perform this requirement would take substantial duplication of time and money and these costs are not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on August 28, 2000. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
