- Description
- The Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (GovWorks), intends to make a firm-fixed-price, sole source award to Sumaria Systems. GovWorks/DOI intends to issue a Purchase Order in accordance with FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This non-competitive action is being issued by GovWorks under the authority of the Department of Interior Franchise Fund on behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (RMA). In a project that was completed in June 2003, Sumaria Systems did extensive statistical, economic, and financial analyses that led to its development of a considerable bank of information, expertise and background on the nursery crop insurance program. This new project work that is being contracted for the 2005 crop year is a logical follow-on to the work performed for RMA for previous crop years to update the Eligible Plant List and Plant Price Schedule (EPLPPS), to add plant prices for existing plants and add new insurable plants and prices, and to revise and update insurability information and instructions contained in the EPLPPS. Sumaria?s experience and knowledge of nursery crop insurance processes and procedures is invaluable to RMA in this effort. There is no other known vendor that can perform the required work without duplication of effort, time and cost. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be expected to be recovered through competition, and would result in unacceptable delays to this project. The intent of this synopsis is for informational purposes only. This is NOT a request for competitive quotes. However, all information received within five (5) days of this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. POC: Department of the Interior; Attention: Richard P Bolick, 381 Elden Street - MS 2510, Herndon, VA 20170. Questions must be faxed to the attention of Richard P Bolick at (703) 787-1022 or emailed to richard.bolick@mms.gov. TELEPHONIC QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED OR ACKNOWLEDGED.
