Description

The Health Resources and Services Administration intends to negotiate under FAR Part 13 -- SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES on a sole source basis with the Genetic Alliance, 4301 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 404, Washington DC 20008 to develop strategies for involvement in the dialogue on genetics through essay contests, develop a media brochure, hold regional meetings, and effectively provide out reach for youth & young adults. The People's Genome Celebration Weekend is an essential component of the out reach. Negotiations with the genetic Alliance are expected to result in a Purchase Order with a twelve-month period of performance. Because the Genetic Alliance is the only organization that developed a People's Genome Celebration to publicize the everyday impact of genetic conditions on people any other source would have to duplicate a substantial variety of current and previous efforts. The Genetic Alliance is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing the work and services 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-MCHB-48A(frm).
