About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks renewal of eLearning Brothers Authoring Suite Gold subscriptions for the National Weather Service Leadership Academy in Kansas City, Missouri, with proposals due September 14. The procurement is a 100% Small Business set-aside, and offerors must provide proof of authorization as an eLearning Brothers approved authorized reseller.
Place of performance is Weatherby Lake, Missouri. The requirement covers seven annual subscription renewals of Authoring Suite Gold for a base year running from award through August 16, 2027, plus two one-year option periods (August 17, 2027 through August 16, 2028, and August 17, 2028 through August 16, 2029). Pricing includes shipping and is calculated by summing base year and option year costs.
The National Weather Service Office of the Chief Learning Officer currently operates nine active licenses that require renewal to continue supporting creation and maintenance of training materials, including New Hire Orientation, M&S course materials, IDSS Boot Camp, IDSS PCUs, and Social Sciences courses. NOAA's market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs; eLearning Brothers Authoring Suite Gold is essential because it serves as a single subscription resource for photos, illustrations, templates, and pre-made interactions compatible with HTML5, Articulate, Camtasia, Captivate, and other eLearning development software.
The contract is firm fixed price with evaluation based on low price technically acceptable under FAR 12.203(c)(2). NAICS code is 513210, Software Publishers. PSC code is U008, Education/Training—Training/Curriculum Development. The contract specialist is Nikki Smith, Nikki.smith@noaa.gov.
Notice text
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office, Eastern Acquisition Division-Kansas City intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed price contract for a Base year plus two (2) Option Years as a 100% Small Business set-aside for the National Weather Srgvice Leadership Academy in Kansas City, MO. The government intends to make an award to the responsive responsible quoter proving the best value in accordance with FAR 12.203 (c)(2).
Brand Name Justification:
Offerors must provide proof as an eLearning Brothers approved authorized reseller.
The eLearning Brothers brand name Authoring Suite-Gold subscription is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. The National Weather Service Office of the Chief Learning Officer (OCLO) uses eLearning Brothers LLC Subscription - Asset Library extensively to create and maintain multiple types of products which support both in class and online class materials for National Weather Service employees. eLearning Brothers LLC Subscription provides a one subscription stop for the photos, illustrations, templates, and pre-made interactions for a variety of eLearning development software including HTML5 based scripts, Articulate, Camtasia, Captivate, and more. There are currently multiple projects completed and/or maintained with the eLearning Brothers LLC Subscription such as New Hire Orientation, M&S course materials, IDSS Boot Camp, IDSS PCUs, Social Sciences, and others. There are currently nine active licenses for eLearning Brothers LLC Subscription - Asset Library that gives our training staff collaborative access to this software that needs to be renewed to continue using the software as there is no other software that meets OCLO specific needs. Not renewing the eLearning Brothers LLC Subscription - Asset Library will result in slowed productivity by the OCLO, delaying delivery of important training to NWS employees.
DOC, Eastern Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made to a company not registered in SAM. Contractors active in SAM have a unique entity identifier (UEI) that is used to do business with the federal government. The Government has moved to a free new, non-proprietary identifier that will have to be requested in, and assigned by, the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). You can register and access the site by going to www.sam.gov.
