Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION OR PROPOSAL. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE FOR THIS ACTION. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO), located in Washington, DC, intends to negotiate and award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) sole-source bridge contract to Deloitte Consulting LLP (1919 N Lynn Street, Arlington VA 22209-1742) for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) services. This acquisition is being conducted using the policies and procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 13.106-1(b) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2). FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items as supplemented by the Housing and Urban Development Acquisition Regulation (HUDAR) will be used to evaluate the quote and award this requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541611: Administrative Management and General Management with a size standard of $16.5 million. The PSC Code is R408: Support - Professional: Program Management/Support. Background & General Description of Work: The previous task order was DU203NP-14-A-07/0010 and was awarded on September 26, 2017 to Deloitte Consulting, LLP for a base period of one year with two, one-year option periods. The contract expired on December 31, 2020. There is currently no order in place. The Office of Enterprise Risk (OER) requires Contractor support to provide program management support for the continued enhancement, administration and execution of its ERM Program. The Contractor will provide support and expertise to administer, execute, enhance, and further develop Ginnie Mae's ERM Program. The Contractor shall monitor Ginnie Mae's risk environment, develop the mid-year and annual Enterprise Risk Profile, the annual Risk Response Plan and analyze risks and ongoing mitigation strategies to improve enterprise risk management while meeting OMB ERM requirements. Unique Characteristics of the Requirement: The Government does not intend to incur additional costs that will result in either substantial duplication of costs or experience any unacceptable delays in fulfilling the HUD's needs. The services are needed now and expeditiously. In addition to this, award to anyone other than Deloitte Consulting LLP will add further challenge to the Government in having to train and walk interested parties through understanding the requirement; thereby, adding to the delay and harming the Government further. A new operating environment for a new contractor will also increase the concern with regards to unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's needs. General Information & Instructions: This is NOT a solicitation for quotations, quotation abstracts, a request for competitive quotations; or request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 3 business days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Any responses to this notice must clearly and thoroughly defend claims or assertions that attempt to refute the government's stance. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, but the information must eliminate the government's concerns and address how the items can be provided without jeopardizing the requirement. Simply submitting a brochure or capabilities statement is not a guaranteed way to alleviate or eliminate the government's concerns. Responses must be specifically tailored to address (1) exactly how the offeror's services can be provided without jeopardizing the Government's mission, (2) how the approach overcomes the barrier to competition the Government faces, and (3) how the approach is more advantageous to the Government than the sole source approach. If no affirmative responses are received within 3 days of this notice, a contract will be issued to Deloitte Consulting LLP. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Danielle.E.Boseman@hud.gov and Che.U.Logan@hud.gov.
