A13 Redacted Justification Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source awards when there is only one responsible source that can satisfy the agency's requirements. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to the National Association of Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (Naphsis) for Electronic Sharing of Vital Event Registration Data Through the State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) system. According to market research, Naphsis is the only contractor identified that has the required platform to support this requirement. The government is soliciting and negotiating with only Naphsis under this sole source acquisition. Interested parties may express interest and capability to respond to this requirement, but the government has the sole discretion to determine whether to compete this contract based on the responses received by the due date of August 22, 2024.
