- Description
- USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded a sole source contract under the statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) set forth by the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 603-2-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplier or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The Government awarded a Firm Fixed Price contract to Dartmouth University due to the very specialized skills deemed necessary to the successful continuation and completion of the project. Dartmouth University has the background, skills and expert knowledge in the development of ArcSIE and its application to producing soil survey information. This legacy best allows Dartmouth University to effectively and efficiently continue the development of the application. Attempting to change developers at this stage would create vast inefficiencies not only in the development of the software, but also substantial duplication costs and the completion of the Essex County Soil Survey Project.
