About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center in Frederick, Maryland published a Special Notice announcing a potential sole source award to the Center for Women Veterans. The requirement is for the proprietary QuickConnect App developed by QuickSeries Publishing, which is designed to deliver updates and notifications to users of previously purchased QuickSeries pocket guides held in inventory by the Center for Women Veterans.
The purpose of the Special Notice is to inform interested parties that the Department intends to issue a firm-fixed price sole source contract to the Center for Women Veterans for the QuickConnect App. This app is needed to disseminate information to users of QuickSeries pocket guides already held in inventory, and can only be provided by QuickSeries Publishing as it was developed specifically for the copyrighted and registered pocket guides. Interested parties may submit capability statements by January 3, 2024 at 3:00pm Eastern time to be considered for future competitive procurements, but this notice itself does not represent a solicitation for competitive quotes. Only QuickSeries Publishing is eligible for this sole source award due to the proprietary nature and copyright of the QuickConnect App and the pocket guides it was designed to support.
Notice text
The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick intends to issue a firm-fixed contract on a sole source basis, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1), to the Center for Women Veterans (CWV), 810 Vermont Ave NW, Ste 441, Washington DC 20420 USA.
The requirement is for the QuickConnect App that is built for businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and other organizations to create and send outreach messages, alerts, notifications, and other forms of communication to large groups of people in real time. This App will be used with the large quantity of previously purchased proprietary QuickSeries pocket guides that the CWV still have remaining.
Specific characteristics of the proprietary QuickConnect App by QuickSeries Publishing that limit the availability to a sole source are that the QuickConnect App is the developed carrier" designed to deliver the previously purchased QuickSeries pocket guide updates and notifications, which are copyrighted by QuickSeries Publishing and registered with the US Library of Congress. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because the QuickConnect App can only be used in combination with the copyrighted QuickSeries pocket guides.

This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, any interested party that can provide this support without adding additional mark ups or compromising the quality of services, may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered.
Information received will normally be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided along with the capability statement; a price list and any other information furnished in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the Government to determine if the party can meet the requirement. This must be to the emailed to the point of contact no later than the closing date of this notice.
