The information sought herein shall not be construed as a request for quote (RFQ) or as an obligation or commitment on the part of the Government to acquire any product or service. There shall be no basis for claims against the Government as a result of information submitted in response to the RFI. Current market research shows that there is only one vendor capable of fulfilling the requirement. However, it is the Government’s intent to include responses to this RFI when making its final determination to negotiate on a sole source basis.

INTERESTED SOURCES CAPABLE OF FULFILLING THIS REQUIREMENT shall submit documentation addressing all required elements listed herein; providing only a reference to a website is unacceptable for purposes of this announcement and will not be considered or reviewed. All proprietary or corporate data received shall be clearly identified and shall be protected from release to sources outside the Government. Contractors interested in providing this service should be registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov).

Contractors responding to this Sources Sought are asked to provide the following information:

company's full name and address, DUNS number, applicable North American Industry Classification Standards (NAICS) and business size (whether they are a large, small, small-disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, historically black college or university and/or minority service institute), address, and a point of contact. Respondents should advise the Government of pending changes in the business size status. In addition, any additional documentation. To be considered, any such documentation shall be submitted in writing by 12 August 2019 at 5:00 PM EST.

FINAL DETERMINATION: Provided no other interested sources with the capability to fulfill this requirement are identified, USASOC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with NCS Pearson, Inc, 5601 Green Valley Dr. Ste. 220, Bloomington, MN 55437.

Responses shall be submitted electronically via email to Justin.burke@socom.mil. All responses shall be submitted by 5:00 PM EST on 12 August 2019. Respondents are cautioned that due to file size limitations and e-mail security protocols, there is a risk that not all correspondence will be received by this office. It is the interested parties' responsibility to ensure receipt of all e-mail and faxed correspondence. If receipt has not been acknowledged within 24 hours, please contact the Contracting Office at 910-396-0552.

Respondents will NOT be individually notified of the results. However, if the final determination results in the verification of a sole source negotiation, a Notice of Intent to Sole Source and the redacted Justification and Approval will be posted to the FBO.
