- Description
- Sole Source Justification SPECIAL NOTICE The USCG Surface Logistics Training Center hereby gives notice of a sole source contract award to NACE International. Notice was not made prior to contract award due to the exception found at FAR 5.202 (a)(2). In accordance with FAR 6.303 and 6.302-1, due to only one responsible source SFLC has placed a sole source contract award for NACE Coating Inspector Program - Level 1 Certification for USCG personnel. Full and open competition was precluded by this only one responsible source dute to unique capabilities including proprietary data and certification, as detailed in the attached Justification and Approval. Award was made under Contracting by Negotiation Procedures (FAR 15). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes. A determination not to compete lies solely with the discretion of the Government. This announcement constitutes the only notice. The reference number is HSCG80-11-C-POE315. NAICS code for this purchase is 541990. The following clause applies to this acquisition: NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS It is the policy of the Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the General Accounting Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the Coast Guard as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman. Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe that a Coast Guard procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth at FAR 33.103(d)(2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be forwarded to the address below: Commandant (CG-9131) U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters Procurement Planning & Oversight Division 1900 Half St. SW, JR11-0203 Washington, DC 20593 Telephone: (202) 372-3692 Fax: (202) 475-3904 The closing date for this notice is Monday, 18 JUL 2011.
