The American Meteorological Society (AMS) holds the Summer Colloquium each year. This event is unique to the AMS, the leader in meteorological and hydrological science and technology for weather, water, and climate forecasting and education in the United States. The AMS is recognized throughout the international community as the leading organization in the field of public education for meteorology and oceanography. The Colloquium provides exceptional training for employees seeking to broaden their perspective in atmospheric and environmental policy. There is no other entity capable of providing such policy training. The AMS is the only organization that provides this type of training. The colloquium is the only forum in the country to provide meteorologists, hydrologists, climatologists, and other physical scientists with education encapsulating science, U. S. policy, and international collaboration. The AMS has the unique capability to provide training and provide high profile individuals with senior level government and private sector positions, including senior congressional staff and Executive Branch officials to present case studies on environmental policy. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Only one responsible source. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) for this acquisition is 541990 with a business size standard of $15.0 million. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. A statement of capabilities must be received by 11:00am, April 27, 2018. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to provide the required services. The capability statement and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the party can meet all of the requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to Natasha.Thieman@noaa.gov by 11:00am, April 27, 2018.
