Notice of intent to award sole source

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA) proposes to award a firm-fixed price non-personal services contract to assess and advance the TEWLS end user training program by providing training and instructions to end users in a realistic practicum TEWLS training environment. USAMRAA intends to negotiate this contract on a sole source basis with RWD Technologies, LLC, Baltimore, MD. This requirement is a follow-on continuation of contract #N00104-06-AZF37-B301. Competing this requirement and awarding to any other source would result in substantial delays and disruption of a program already in place. Start-up costs with another contractor would substantially increase the overall cost to the Government. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This procurement shall be under other than full and open competition procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302.

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. After the publication of this announcement for fifteen (15) days, solicitation W81XWH-12-T-0420 will be posted for five (5) days. If no written responses are received at least fifteen (15) days after the publication of this initial response, the requirement will be awarded without further notice. The Point of Contract (POC) for this action is Jeffrey.Flook@amedd.army.mil.
