Sole Source Justification - (Vector Controls) Redacted.pdf

This sole source justification document proposes awarding a contract to Vector Controls for a vector control course of instruction under solicitation number H9224023R0017 issued by the United States Special Operations Command. The justification cites Vector Controls as the only responsible source that can meet the urgent requirement to provide vector-borne disease training to special operations forces within the required timeframe. The proposed one-year, firm-fixed-price contract would utilize Vector Controls' existing curriculum and infrastructure to train approximately 200 students per year on identification and control of vector-borne illnesses. The justification analyzes Vector Controls' unique qualifications, including specialized facilities, proprietary curriculum and instructional materials, and experienced instructors, concluding that competition is impractical and the proposed sole source award would fulfill the urgent training need in the most cost effective and timely manner.
