NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Management (EM) Consolidated Business Center (CBC), intends to award a contract to CASEPOINT, LLC (CasePoint), a Small Disadvantaged Business Concern (SDBC), on a sole source basis. The services provided by CasePoint are in support of the EMCBC Office of Chief Counsel.
The authority permitting this sole source acquisition without full and open competition is prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. An approved Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizing this procurement will be posted in accordance with FAR 6.305(a) within fourteen days of contract award. The DOE/EMCBC will procure a 12-month subscription for Legal eDiscovery and Client Services from CasePoint. It is an Information Technology (IT) requirement that all software purchases must first be authorized through FedRAMP before being utilized by the Government. Of the 5 businesses, which provide eDiscovery platforms and are currently authorized for use on FedRAMP, CasePoint is the only company listed as a small business. Because of
CasePoint’s unique status as the only FedRAMP authorized small business available to meet the EMCBC OCC’s requirements, and the recent increase in the requirements to award to SDBCs, the EMCBC believes the sole source award to CasePoint to be in the best interests of the Government.
A solicitation package will not be posted publicly and requests for copies of the solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether conducting a competitive procurement in the future would be in the best interest of the Government. All responses received by 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on September 13, 2024, will be considered. All information (capability statement, proposal or quotation) submitted should support the firm’s abilities to provide the required services and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to the following address: Christopher.nettle@emcbc.doe.gov. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted.
