SOLE SOURCE - SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCE

I recommend that NSF negotiate with Partnership for Public Service

I have reviewed other products/services to identify other vendors which might meet NSF’s requirements through one of the following methods: (check those that apply)

� Open Market Price Lists X Previous requirements

� GSA Schedule

FAR 19.502-2 requires award to Small Business for supplies or services with an anticipated dollar value exceeding $3,000. If applicable specify why award is being recommended to other than a Small Business.

XX No other Small Company can supply the equipment or service � The Company does not have a small business distributor that can supply the equipment or service � GSA schedule does not provide the equipment or service from small business � Other ______________________________________

The total estimated cost, including shipping and handling (if applicable), of this effort is $15,000 per year and the period of performance or lead-time for delivery or start date is period of performance lasts 365 days after contract award. The total value is $75,000 for membership to the Federal Human Capital Collaborative.

This recommendation is made pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Competition is impractical for the following reasons:

Partnership for Public Service is a 501 c 3 that is the only institution to offer HRM with the Advisement and Training needed, as this organization has a collaborative training that involves multiple federal agencies that participate in the trainings being administered.

The participation in this training consists solely of HR leaders within the US Federal Government. This type of training facilitation is unique and solely that of the Partnership for Public Service.
