- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, through the Science Information Delivery Branch (SID) has a requirement to verify eligibility of applicants applying for the America the Beautiful Military National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands - Military Pass (annual pass). Eligible applicants are current U.S. Military, U.S. Military dependent and U.S. Military Veterans. SheerID, Inc. will provide military pass verification services to assist the National Park Service (NPS) and Science Information Delivery (SID) which requires a verification service as part of the America the Beautiful Military Pass ordering process on the USGS Store (store.usgs.gov). The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above as a there was a Request for Information released on beta.sam on March 1, 2021 to all prospective vendors that could perform this requirement and only SheerID responded to the request. Therefore, the USGS intends to make an award to SheerID. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION STATES THE FOLLOWING PART: The following information is provided to demonstrate the proposed contractor's unique qualifications: US Geological Survey, through the Science Information Delivery Branch (SID) has a requirement to verify eligibility of applicants applying for the America the Beautiful Military National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands - Military Pass (annual pass). Eligible applicants are current U.S. Military, U.S. Military dependent and U.S. Military Veterans. SheerID already offers Age Verification Services for the USGS Store so the platform is already established. There was a Request for Information released on beta.sam to all prospective vendors that could perform this requirement and only SheerID responded to the request. The proposed action may be awarded on a sole source basis under the authority FAR 13.106-1(b). Market research was conducted by issuing a Request for Information (RFI) on beta.sam. Only SheerID responded to the RFI and that company met the specifications need. The Government will continue to monitor the market and future needs will be competed to the maximum extent practicable.
