Description
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) intends to issue a sole source commercial item purchase order, using FAR Part 13.105(b) Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(2), with only one responsible source that will satisfy the agency's requirement to Orr Consulting to provide and advise the NEA's Human Resources Office with expertise in collective bargaining and labor relations. The Contractor has provided hands on technical support and consulting services during the early stages of talk of a possible "union" being formed. The Office of Human Resources requires this indispensible Contractor until a Human Resources Specialist/Labor Relations position can be filled. The Contractor has enabled the Office of Human Resources to quickly retrieve the most up-to-date information available in a format that facilitates contact with staff efficiently. The Contractor contains the government's proprietary information of the agency's activities, history, critical knowledge of the NEA organization and its administrative policies, practices and procedures. T he Human Resources staff has received critical information regarding policy and guidelines concerning forming a union and it would be prohibitively disruptive to begin using another Contractor. Through Orr Consulting services the Human Resources staff has received and completed training and spent many hours on updated legislative data. Orr Consulting has performed professional work ethics with the NEA Senior Management and the HR Director in providing supervisory training that has proved beneficial in meeting various task objectives. Orr Consulting knowledge of Labor Relations coupled with the familiarity of the inner-workings of the NEA organization is critical as the Agency prepares for possible upcoming negotiations. It is imperative that Orr Consulting 's expertise be available to the Agency as soon as possible to avoid a major negative impact. This notice is for informational purposes only. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals nor will a formal solicitation be issued. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit quotes/proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
