Intent to Sole Source:

Pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Program Support Center

(PSC), Acquisition Management Services (AMS), on behalf of Federal Occupational Health (FOH), intends to sole source to:

Brittingham Software Design, Inc.

440 HWY 513

Califon, NJ 07830-4301

Brittingham Software Design, Inc. (BSDI) currently provides an Interactive Online Health Promotion Tool to provide services to FOH. BSDI has a current ATO with HHS, which is required to provide these services to FOH.

The web-based system that is provided must be reliably available as a secure web based application that is accessible through the internet via a personal computer in an environment capable of receiving an

Authorization to Operate (ATO) on behalf of HHS. The environment and system will be subject to HHS’

Certification and Accreditation (C&A) process to receive the ATO prior to use by Federal employees. HHS officials will approve the ATO and HHS will perform or contract out the independent System Test and

Evaluation (ST&E) requirements of the C&A process. Contractors must demonstrate experience in maintenance and support of secure internet online data systems, website management, and website interface design.

Since BSDI already has an ATO with HHS, in the interest of economy and efficiency, it is a logical follow-on to the task order already issued under the contract.

The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire a web-based, commercial off-the-shelf health promotion product that includes management tools for FOH staff and end users. It must include online health risk appraisals and healthy lifestyle information with personalized wellness tools used by FOH staff to service

FOH’s inter-agency customers. This system shall be a one-stop-shop Comprehensive Lifestyle Management

Center with a range of services that connects FOH customer to resources in all wellness dimensions including physical, social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
