Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) intends to solicit and award a contract to the University of Mary Washington (hereafter referred to as “UMWâ€), Center for Professional Development, in Fredericksburg, VA on a sole source basis for three (3) classrooms, breakout rooms, and course administration space in support of the Capital and Northeast Region (CNE) of the Defense Acquisition University (DAU). The statutory authority permitting this award is Other Than Full and Open Competition 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.



The CNE of the DAU is responsible for executing the DAWIA training for the Acquisition Work Force within their region.

In response to the demand for course offerings for the FY12 academic calendar, additional classroom space is needed to conduct required classes as part of the Directors of Acquisition Career Management (DACMs) input for each Service and the 4th Estate. UMW’s Center for Professional Development is the only facility qualified to fulfill the requirement for the classroom facilities in support of the DAU. Because they cater to their students’ needs after normal business hours, their classrooms are available for rental during the day. Additionally, UMW can supply IT equipment, network capacity, wireless access and classroom configurations that are required for the DAU team teaching style. Market Research did not identify any other facility within the geographical area that was able to meet the necessary facility requirements.



This contract will be awarded under FAR Part 12 for fiscal year 2012 (FY12), with options for FY 13 through FY 15.





This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation is available. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Please contact Ms. Renée S. Staton at renee.staton@usmc.mil for information regarding this sole source intention. No telephone calls will be accepted.
