The Contracting Center of Excellence, representing the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense Reserve Affairs, plans to award a sole source contract to Dunn & Bradstreet Government Solutions for the provision of the Dunn & Bradstreet Optimizer Processing and Look-up Service. This contract will be firm-fixed price with a performance period running from May 12, 2008, through September 30, 2008. The sole source award is justified under federal acquisition regulations that recognize Dunn & Bradstreet as the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the agency’s requirements. Consequently, no solicitation, requests for proposals, or competitive bidding opportunities will be issued for this contract. The agency has explicitly stated that phone inquiries will not be accepted, but interested parties may express their interest and submit a capabilities statement by 2:00 PM EST on May 6, 2008. However, the government retains sole discretion regarding whether to proceed without competition based on responses received. The contracting officer overseeing this action is Ingrid Williams, who can be contacted via email for further information. The action is affiliated with the Department of Defense’s W6QK Adap Support Office located in Fort Belvoir, VA, and falls under the NAICS code 518210, which relates to data processing, hosting, and related services.
