Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Victoria University

Solicitation # TAIA0000-26-00116

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Office of Acquisition Management and the International Trade Administration, intends to award a sole source contract to the Centre of Policy Studies at Victoria University. This 12-month engagement involves the development and delivery of five integrated economic-modeling projects, including model enhancements, updated baseline data, and training materials. The work focuses on specialized CGE model-development services using GTAP, GTAP-Fin, USAGE, and USAGE-TERM frameworks to support trade policy, industrial policy, and macroeconomic analyses. The government has identified Victoria University as the only viable source due to their decade-long history of developing the specific model structures and architectures currently used by the Department. This continuity is essential to avoid the technical risk and duplication of effort that would result from another source attempting to recreate these complex systems. While this is a notice of intent for a sole source award, interested parties have 15 days from the publication date to submit written responses demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements.

AI Contract Overview

This solicitation, identified as N0018926QB050, is a combined presolicitation and request for quotes for commercial services under FAR Part 12, seeking a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to design and deliver graduate-level executive leadership education programs for senior leaders within the Department of the Navy, managed by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. The NAICS code is 611310, with a small business size standard of $34.5 million, and the acquisition is conducted as full and open competition without any set-aside. The requirement follows a best-value tradeoff source selection process where non-price factors—Performance Approach, Past Performance, and Socioeconomic Plan—carry greater weight than price, with the two technical factors each deemed equally critical and significantly more important than the socioeconomic component. A rating of less than Acceptable for either Performance Approach or Socioeconomic Plan renders a quote ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions and is not bound to select the lowest-priced or highest-rated quote. Quoters must submit two electronic volumes: Volume I detailing the non-price factors within specified page limits, and Volume II containing a price quotation in Excel and PDF formats, with all submissions due by May 8, 2026, via email to designated contracting officers. All offerors must be registered in SAM, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible vendor offering the best overall value based on the evaluation criteria. The base period runs from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, with three one-year options available. The performance work statement requires the contractor to deliver fully developed leadership courses, including materials, logistics, travel, and administrative support, with all deliverables submitted to the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and governed by a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan and Contract Administration Plan. The Government has specified that travel and materials costs are subject to Not-to-Exceed limits but that core services like course design and delivery lack fixed pricing in the solicitation, leaving pricing entirely to the offeror’s discretion within a firm-fixed-price framework. Specific compliance requirements include adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for cybersecurity, prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment from designated foreign entities, restrictions on subcontracting with organizations linked to state sponsors of terrorism, and the mandatory use of WAWF for electronic invoicing. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses,

This proposed
acquisition is being solicitated as full and open competition. See attached supporting documents for more information.

POINT OF CONTACT:
The point of contact at the contracting office is Ms. Shanna Harris, who may be reached via email at shanna.c.harris.civ@us.navy.mil

PREPARATION COSTS:
This RFQ does not commit the Government to pay for the preparation and submission of a quote.

FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION:

The proposed acquisition is being solicited as full and open competition using FAR Part 12 procedures. The proposed acquisition will result in a purchase order contract on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. Questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted to Shanna Harris at shanna.c.harris.civ@us.navy.mil no later than Wednesday April 29, 2026, at 10:00am EST.

Quote submissions received after the stated submission deadline will not be considered for award. All responsible business sources may submit a quote, which shall be considered by the agency. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Streamlined procedures in FAR Part 12 are applicable to this procurement. While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of quotes, the final contract award will be based on a combination of factors- price, performance approach, past performance, and socioeconomic plan.

System for Award Management (SAM). Quoters must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at http://www.sam.gov/.

All quotes shall include price(s) showing any and all materials, travel, and labor, name, phone number and email address of a point of contact, business size, and payment terms. The quote shall explicitly confirm that the quoter can meet all of the technical
requirements and provide all of the deliverables for the periods of performance specified herein. Each response must clearly indicate the capability of the quoter to meet all specifications and requirements.

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order contract to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract based on initial submissions. Accordingly, the quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a performance approach, past performance, socioeconomic, and price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter or other than the highest technically rated quoter; award a contract without discussions; or award a contract after discussions, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

Quoters shall be required to submit a non-price quote that will be evaluated in accordance with solicitation procedures as set forth in this solicitation. The non-price quote will be more important than price. The nonprice quote will consist of the following factors: Performance Approach, Past Performance, and Socioeconomic Plan.

For the non-price evaluation, Performance Approach and Past Performance are of equal importance. Performance Approach and Past Performance are each considered significantly more important than Socio-Economic Plan. A rating of LESS than Acceptable for the Performance Approach and/or the Socio-Economic Plan means the quote is ineligible for award, and the quote will not be further evaluated. This requirement will be awarded as a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. A pricing spreadsheet is included in the solicitation attachments for informational purposes only to assist with quote preparation; this is not a Level of Effort (LOE) requirement. All quotation instructions are contained within the RFQ document.
