(c) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A): An urgent and compelling need exists, and following the procedures would result in unacceptable delays; OR

(d) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B): Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized; OR

(e) FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C): In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order not previously issued under sole-source or limited-sources procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: WAMC has a requirement to provide Leading for Change Training for multiple WAMC employees. ACHE is the only Healthcare Executive organization that provides Healthcare Executive Certification and Fellowship seminars. If employees do not receive training it will result in a decrease of professionalism for patient care.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: A sources sought notice was posted to the System for Award Management (SAM) website on 27 June 2022. No additional vendors responded to the notice. The ACHE is the only professional society for healthcare leaders that provides accreditation and board certification in healthcare management. This Solicitation W91YTZ22Q0102 will be posted to SAM.gov. No additional action will be taken to increase competition for this requirement.

7. Market Survey: Market Research conducted resulted in only one other healthcare association, Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) that offers educational programs. MGMA will only offer specific educational programs for their personnel. Therefore, ACHE is the sole source of healthcare executive educational programs widely available to all organizations.
