Description

Under the authority of FAR 6.302, Innovative Leadership Solutions is the only vendor of this service that will satisfy VISN 9 requirements. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Activity, VISN 9 intends to make a sole source award to Innovative Leadership Solutions with an estimated value of $67,600.00 for the continuation of services in the development of content and materials for the VISN 9 Facility LEAD Program. These services will be used to standardize the facility LEAD curriculum and maintain consistency and agency standardization in compliance with the Secretary of the VA and Under Secretary for Health's requests for program standardization. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Innovative Leadership Solutions is the only vendor of these services that will satisfy VISN 9 requirements. Innovative Leadership Solutions maintains ownership of materials developed for the VISN 9 LEAD Program. The selection of a different vendor would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency's requirements. Services performed by this vendor are essential and provide the only solution to meet the Agency's requirements to maintain consistency and standardization. Analysis indicates other companies' similar services do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the Agency's needs. The VISN Education Committee has determined that only through continued partnership with this vendor can the Agency maintain its current standardization requirement and consistency within the LEAD program as mandated by VACO. The government would incur undo substantial cost and risk by using a different vendor. The cost to compete in an attempt to procure different services does not out weight the benefit of maintaining our current standardization and consistency within the Agency's LEAD Program. The cost for this requirement is $67,600.00. This notice of intent is neither a request for quote nor a solicitation of proposals. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates an ability to meet the agency's needs. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to Paul E. Keller no later than August 5, 2011 @ 13:00 pm Central Daylight Time.
