The National Guard Bureau (NGB) intends to award a sole source contract for requirement of the Composite Army National Guard Safety Development and Assessment Program (CASDAP) with a period of performance from 29 September 2020 to 28 March 2021. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) and specifically, the ARNG Safety and Standardization Branch (ARNG-AVS) has an enduring requirement to conduct safety program audits and evaluations of the 54 ARNG States, territories, and the District of Columbia Joint Forces Headquarters to meet safety requirements outlined by OSHA statutes, 6055 Department of Defense Instruction safety series and 385 series Army Regulations. This effort is conducted through the use of the CASDAP. CASDAP consists of an NGB comprehensive and collaborative three phased audit approach, providing ARNG States, Territories, and the District of Columbia a means to determine safety program effectiveness of execution and integration of ARNG and Army Safety Programs into the organization's mission. NGB intends to award this sole source contract to Microsystems Automation Group (MSAG), because it is vital for services to remain with the incumbent contractor as they are the only responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements IAW 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B).
