- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID), intends to award a firm-fixed price, sole-source contract for commercial items in accordance with FAR Part 13 and under the authority of FAR 6.202-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements) with the small business vendor J. W. Bibler & Associates, 893 Honey Court, Arnold, CA 95223-3429. The estimated cost of this acquisition is $58,000 for a period from May 2007 to September 2007. The NAICS is 611430. From 2004-2005, the DOE-ID underwent a significant change in its management and operations (M&O) contracting strategy and structure to fulfill the need of overseeing the DOE Nuclear Energy???s Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Completion Project. This dramatic change necessitated a need to re-train DOE-ID federal employees towards a better understanding of both the revamped contracts and the federal role in administering the new contracts. Bibler worked with DOE-ID management and staff to: develop a contract management seminar series (CMSS) that would enable participants to understand the contracting environment; become familiar with the newly issued M&O contracts; understand the relationship between contractors and federal oversight personnel; and, become knowledgeable of the functions, duties, and limitations on the authority of oversight personnel at DOE-ID and DOE Headquarters. Bibler & Associates performed two subsequent assessments to determine the extent to which DOE-ID employees have retained and are using the knowledge skills, and information obtained from the CMSS. In developing this training and subsequent assessments, Bibler & Associates obtained significant knowledge of: the DOE-ID; the Idaho National Laboratory and Idaho Completion Project contracts; the DOE Headquarters organization; and the interactions necessary to accomplish the DOE-ID mission. Under this award, the contractor will develop and present a refresher course focused on the behaviors, skills, and knowledge most important to the success of the major contracting activities taking place on the site, inclusive of the INL, ICP, and continuation of the and Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP). In addition, an abbreviated version of the original CMSS will be conducted for new DOE-ID employees. It is critical for the developer and instructor of this training seminar series to have intimate knowledge of: the DOE-ID organization; DOE-ID and DOE Office of Nuclear Energy relationships and authorities; contractual changes in the INL and ICP contracts; as well as FAR and DEAR changes that may impact these two contracts and the AMWTP; and, demonstrated expertise in organizational change and leadership and management disciplines. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. However, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements may give written notification prior to the response due date of April 25, 2007. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to perform the requirements listed. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the award to J. W. Bibler & Associates. Responses are due by April 25, 2007, 2:00 p.m. (MDT). Responses shall be submitted via e-mail to surrusjk@id.doe. Telephone requests or inquires will not be accepted.
