Civilian Expeditionary Workforce Training (Bridging)

Added: Feb 22, 2017 1:19 pm NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT: Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source," it is the Government's intent to award a sole source service contract to McKellar Corporation, a Service Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business for the execution of three Civilian Expeditionary Workforce (CEW) training events occurring during April, May and June 2017 at Camp Atterbury, Indiana - an Indiana Army National Guard training center. The objectives of this requirement are for McKellar Corp (incumbent) to continue providing required training services during the on-going source selection of an IDIQ solicitation (W912L9-16-R-0003). Continuity of services is paramount in order to meet established Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) and theater mobilization and deployment timelines of the CEW participants. Disruption to these timelines due to phase-in / phase-out of vendors and to the time involved to solicit, review proposals, make award and then receive OSD review and approval of a new vendors training plan would jeopardize the synchronization and efficiency of theater timelines.
