About this opportunity
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Computing TechnologieS, Inc. for providing instructional and technical support for the NATO Information Exchange course. The notice, posted on December 19, 2024, is specifically set aside for a Woman-Owned Small Business under the Computer Training NAICS category. DTRA has determined that Computing TechnologieS, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements for training on various systems. The contract will be awarded in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, which allows for sole source procurement under specific circumstances. The notice serves as an informational document to provide transparency in the procurement process.
Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination must submit a written response with compelling evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government. Responses must clearly show that alternative providers could perform the work without being cost or time prohibitive and without hindering DTRA's mission objectives. Potential respondents must provide convincing documentation of their capability to perform the required work. The government will only consider responses received by January 3, 2025, and will evaluate them solely to determine whether to proceed with the sole source contract or pursue a competitive procurement. Any costs incurred by respondents will not be reimbursed, and the government retains full discretion in making the final determination. The opportunity is specifically targeted at firms with expertise in instructional and technical support for NATO training systems, with a particular focus on woman-owned small businesses in the computer training sector.
