About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a consulting services contract to Gartner Consulting. The notice, posted on December 3, 2024, concerns professional services to support the newly established Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). Specifically, NSF seeks Gartner's expertise to accelerate the development of the agency's IT governance structure and processes. The procurement aims to improve alignment between agency business and IT decisions while enhancing transparency in IT resource utilization. The contract will complement NSF's existing Gartner research and advisory services subscription.
The purpose of this sole-source procurement is to leverage Gartner's unique capabilities in providing specialized IT governance consulting services. The task order will have two performance periods: a base period from December 1, 2024 to January 31, 2025, and an optional governance execution support period from February 1, 2025 to April 30, 2025. NSF is justifying the sole-source award under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), citing Gartner's proprietary frameworks, benchmarks, methodologies, and research tools as unavailable through other providers. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC code DG10 for IT and Telecom Network Services. Contractors should note the due date of December 18, 2024, and that this procurement exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, requiring public posting in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
