EVALUATION PLANNING AND ANALYSIS SUPPORT POC Thomas A. Sowa,
Contracting Officer, 703-305-8441 The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(PTO) has a requirement for a technical expert: (1) familiar with the
Government's best value evaluation process; (2) possesses direct
experience testifying on behalf of the Government, either as fact or
expert witness, regarding the Government's best value process and best
value process results; and (3) knowledgeable about PTO acquisitions in
general and the SDM acquisiton specifcally. This technical expert will
asssist PTO's Information Technology Source Evaluation Board (SEB)
with the development of SDM best value source selection information,
provide introductory best value training to all SDM acquisition
evalaution team members, and assist the SEB with the conduct of the SDM
acquisition best value analyses. Mr. Frank Carr possesses the requisite
best value knowledge and technical expertise based on (1) his work as
an executive with the General Services Administration; (2) his work as
an independent consultant on the Internal Revenue Service's TMAS
acquisition; and (3) his work as an independent consultant assessing
the PTO's modernization program, which includes the SDM acquisition.
Based on Mr. Carr's familiarity with the PTO, he is able to provide the
necessary hands-on expertise to ensure that mistakes arising from
previous Government best value evaluations are not repeated during the
SDM acquisition. Due to the fact that Mr. Carr is the only source who
possesses the required knowledge, award of this requirement to any
other source would seriously impact the acquisition schedule and
require additional time and expense to acquire the knowledge and
understanding necessary to advise the PTO's SEB on best value source
selection. No other source has the necessary knowledge and experience
of PTO acquisitions and best value source selection activities to
provide the services in a timely manner. The PTO intends to negotiate
a purchase order with Mr. Frank Carr, Annapolis, MD. (0039) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0015 19960209\D-0001.SOL)
