76 -- Copyright Testing Materials

The U.S. Secret Service plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Standards & Associates, Inc. for the procurement of National Police Officer’s Selection Testing materials. This action is not a solicitation or request for proposals but an intent to negotiate exclusively with one provider under the authority of FAR 6.302, allowing non-competitive procurement when justified. Interested parties are invited to submit written responses within two calendar days from the notice date, but the government fully reserves the right to decide against competitive bidding based on those responses. No formal solicitation package is available, and all associated costs for preparing responses will not be reimbursed by the government. The anticipated award date for this procurement is April 28, 2003, by 4:00 PM. The contracting activity is managed by the Fletc Glynco Procurement Office within the Department of Homeland Security, located in Brunswick, Georgia. For further details or inquiries, contact information is provided for a designated representative. This procurement concerns specialized copyright testing materials essential to law enforcement recruitment processes, underscoring the importance of timely and exclusive negotiation with the selected source.
