Description

NASA/GSFC plans to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) 5-00658-096, on a non-competitive basis, for Career Development support to include the designing and teaching of workshops and learning groups, such as: "ReFIREment Workshops", "Space to Grow", and others. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from EDIN Associates. EDIN Associates has provided training and career development to Goddard since 1991. Consequently, they are intimately familiar with Goddard, its culture, and its leadership and management philosophies. EDIN Associates uses many training tools and workshops, which are unique, proprietary, and only available from EDIN Associates. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), Only One Responsible Source. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on September 7, 2001. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
