The nature of this effort requires a contractor to conduct specialized recruitment efforts requested by federal agencies, and to maintain and manage the "Register for Freedom", which was created under contract OPM10-10-C-0004. In addition, the contractor shall be required to use applicants from the Register for Freedom for the specialized recruitments. Also, the contractor shall be required to add to the Register for Freedom, any non-selected applicants obtained outside of the register for further Government employment consideration no later than 30 days after the selection process associated with the specialized request is completed. Bender Consulting Services, Inc. has the capability maintain and manage the current register. Therefore, Bender Consulting is the only vendor who has the ability to perform these services.

This requirement is conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Commercial Items. The authority for this award is FAR 13.106-1 (b) (1) - For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. However, all responsible parties who identify their interest and capability to satisfy this requirement will be considered. No solicitation will be issued, therefore, all requests for the solicitation will be considered non-responsive. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. All interested parties must express their interest and capabilities in writing via e-mail to Vito F. Bertucci at vito.bertucci@opm.gov. Verification of receipt of electronic transmission is the sole responsibility of the contractor. All OPM contractors are required to register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to execution of award.
