Description

The Health Resources and Services Administration intends to negotiate under FAR Part 13 -- SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES on a sole source basis with The Society of Internal General Medicine (SIGM), 2501 M Street NW, Suite 575, Washington, DC 20037 to develop implement, and evaluate a one day Faculty Development Pre-Course for 35 minority faculty, residents, and housestaff. The pre-course will be offered in conjunction with the Society of Internal General Medicine's Annual Meeting. It is expected that any resulting award will be a cost-sharing award, with many of the costs being in-kind contributions from the SIGM. Negotiations with the SIGM are expected to result in a Purchase Order with a period of performance of 12 months. Because any other source would have to duplicate SIGM position in the field of internal medicine and the offer of in-kind contributions, SIGM is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing the required work and service without substantial duplication in cost under authority in 41 U.S.C.253 (1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(I). This is not a solicitation. A copy of the solicitation has not yet been produced. A copy of the Justification for Other then Full and Open Competition is on file. Written inquiries must reference requisition number 01-BHPR-A230512(frm).
