Ministry of Defense Advisor - Global Training (Bridging Strategy)

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 continued execution of the Ministry of Defense Advisor - Global (MoDA-Global) training event occurring during July through December 2017 timeframe 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 Defense Security Cooperation Agency's (DSCA) and theater mobilization and deployment timelines of the MoDA 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 DSCA's review and approval of a new vendors' training
plan would jeopardize the synchronization and efficiency of theater timelines. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION.

This synopsis is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal. No solicitation document is available, and
telephone requests for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored. Any response to this notice must show clear
and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. All responses received
within 9 days will be considered. If no affirmative written response is received, the service contract will be awarded without further notice.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is based upon and meets the
requirements of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source.
Award of this service contract will be based upon the possible responses to this notice, and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Detailed capabilities of interested vendors must be submitted to the following email address no later than 4:00 PM (EST) July 5, 2017, christopher.j.purtell.mil@mail.mil.
