- Description
- RECOVERY THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE CONTRACTOR AWARDED W91278-09-D-0072. This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because a statute exists that expressly authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made from a specific source or through another agency (FAR 6.302-5); specifically, Sole source awards under the 8(a) Program. Per FAR 6.302-5 a J&A is not required for this award. Using Recovery Act Funding, the Mobile District Corps of Engineers awarded an 8(a) Sole Source, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Spectra Tech, Inc., 132 Jefferson Ct, Oak Ridge, TN 37830. Solicitation W91278-09-R-0063 was issued to them for Professional Services for the US Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division. The services being provided by them are technical support, quality assurance and project management. The primary tasking will involve providing overall technical support to various hydropower and related facilities throughout the South Atlantic Division. Technical support can include Bidability, Constructability, operability, and Environmental (BCOE) and design reviews, technical and environmental plan reviews, value engineering reviews, and CADD support. Other tasks may include performing quality assurance duties, program support, such as data gathering or data entry. Small business set-asides allow for agencies to use competitive procedures to identify and select small businesses from the commercial marketplace to provide products and services to government agencies. See FAR Subpart 19.5. A number of additional small business authorities provide for agencies to make awards both competitively and noncompetitively to various types of small businesses to further the governments enacted socioeconomic policy goals. By doing so, these programs help agencies maximize small business participation in federal contracting which, in turn, helps small businesses maximize the economic benefits they provide to their communities. Accordingly, to further the aims of the Recovery Act, agencies are strongly encouraged to take advantage of authorized small business contracting programs, which may include use of noncompetitive authorities, to create opportunities for small businesses. Specifically, agency program, acquisition, and small business offices should work together in planning acquisitions to identify: (1) requirements that can be met effectively with the help of small businesses and (2) the small business contracting authority that is best suited for a given requirement. Task Order 0001 will be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
