Notice of Intent to Sole Source, T-FERST Training Workshop

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a sole source firm fixed-price Purchase Order under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, to United South and Eastern Tribes (USET). The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain assistance in the development of a training workshop for USET member tribes to learn how to navigate and use Tribal-FERST, a decision support tool in use by EPA and the tribal community, in their environmental and sustainability planning efforts. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. EPA believes USET is uniquely qualified to perform this function based on its specialized experience in the training subject matter within the tribal community and its position of authority to make unified decisions for all 26 member tribes that will participate in the workshop. Notwithstanding, any firm who believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein ma y submit a response, which if received by the due date of this announcement, will be considered. Responses to this posting must be in writing. A determination not to compete the proposed Purchase Order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All questions should be directed to Bradley Austin via email at austin.bradley@epa.gov. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
