Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency intends to award a sole source contract to Gartner, Inc. for the renewal of the Corporate Leadership Council Classic Membership, which serves Human Resource professionals. The decision is based on the authority that only Gartner can fulfill the agency's requirements, following the FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition procedures in accordance with 41 USC 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The contract covers a one-year period from June 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021. While this is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, the Government remains open to receiving responses from other responsible sources within five days after the notice's publication if they can provide clear and convincing evidence of their capability to deliver the required services. Any such responses will help determine whether a competitive procurement process should replace the sole source award, with the final decision resting solely with the OCC. The contract, identified as solicitation number 2031JW20Q00066, falls under the NAICS code 511210 and is posted by the Office of Management / CFO within the Department of the Treasury. The place of performance is Washington, DC, where the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is based. Interested parties or further inquiries can be directed to the point of contact, Karen A. Green, at the provided email and phone number. The notice outlines a clear intent to streamline acquisition while retaining the option for competitive engagement if warranted.
