Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with VIP2, LLC 17200 Chenal Parkway, Suite 300, Little Rock, Arkansas 722223, UEI: M37MHE2EJGJ9.

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) 1901 as set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)- Only One Responsible Source

This purchase is for: OM NIEHS Leadership Training, Seminars and Coaching Services

NIEHS requires the provision of leadership training, seminars and coaching services for OM leaders and supervisors. The goal is to provide training and consultation that will help leaders create a positive and healthy work environment through pre-planning activities, leadership training, virtual “soft skill” seminars, and 1:1 coaching services.

VIP2, LLC, (The Jon Harrison company) has previously worked with scientific research organizations and conducted seminars at NIEHS, therefore their firm is familiar with the mission of scientific research organizations, workforce challenges, workplace culture, and the unique work OM is responsible for performing. Their prior work with other science-based government organizations, and prior experience presenting to NIEHS managers, makes them uniquely qualified and the best fit to provide the leadership training, seminars, and coaching services required. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the

Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and there would be unacceptable delays in the NIEHS training schedules & mission requirements.

Period of Performance: 9/8/2023-6/30/2024

This notice of intent is not a solicitation or request for quotes. Notwithstanding, any responsible source that believes it is capable of meeting NIEHS requirement, may submit capability statement. Responses to this posting must be submitted via email to Chantal.cornelius@nih.gov, by August 31, 2023, at 2:00PM EST.

A determination by the Government not to compete this quote contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will only be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Mrs. Chantal Rosales Cornelius at the above email address.
