AI Contract Overview

The National Park Service, Pacific West Region Point Reyes Major Acquisition Buying Office, is planning to award a sole source contract to Crater Lake Natural History Association, Inc. (CLNHA) for fee collection services at Oregon Caves National Monument in Cave Junction, Oregon. This contract will be awarded under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with an anticipated award date of April 26, 2014. The contract falls under the NAICS code 561110, which pertains to Office Administrative Services. CLNHA, a recognized nonprofit cooperating association established in 1942, is dedicated to supporting educational, scientific, and visitor services at both Crater Lake National Park and Oregon Caves National Monument. The organization is specifically chartered through a Cooperating Association Agreement to provide services including education, interpretation, and fee collection at Oregon Caves. The decision to engage CLNHA in this contract is supported by a 2011 program audit recommending a fixed-price contract for the expanded amenity fee collection. CLNHA’s existing expertise in visitor services, accounting, and business management minimizes the need for extensive retraining and allows for continuity in managing fee collection. This sole source procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1, with the government limiting solicitation to a single provider due to the association’s unique qualifications and established relationship. Although other interested parties may express interest or submit proposals within five days of the contract announcement, the National Park Service retains full discretion in deciding whether to pursue a competitive process. Any inquiries regarding the contract can be directed to the contracting officer, Alanna R. Gardner.

Full Description

The National Park Service, Pacific West Region Point Reyes Major Acquisition Buying Office, on behalf of Oregon Caves National Monument, intends to award a sole source procurement action to Crater Lake Natural History Association, Inc., Sager Bldg Hwy 62, Crater Lake, OR 97604, for fee collection services at the Oregon Caves National Monument, located in Cave Junction, Oregon. This service is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) soliciting from a single source authorized by FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The anticipated award date is April 26, 2014. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 561110, Office Administrative Services. The Crater Lake Natural History Association (CLNHA), established in 1942, is the officially recognized National Park Service 501 (c) (3) non-profit cooperating organization dedicated to advancing educational and scientific activities at Crater Lake National Park and Oregon Caves National Monument, Cave Junction, Oregon. Crater Lake Natural History Association (CLNHA) is specifically chartered through a Cooperating Association Agreement to support visitor services, education and interpretation in Oregon Caves National Monument; thus the process of fee collection is supplemental to other services provided by CLNHA. A program audit by Regional Fee Management personnel in 2011 advised the National Park Service that a fixed-price contract was the correct instrument to collect the expanded amenity fee at Oregon Caves National Monument. CLNHA possesses visitor services skills, accounting and business management skills, and other relevant knowledge that reduces the time and expense the Park Service would expend in retraining personnel. CLNHAs past involvement in providing this service offers the National Park Service a seamless continuation of fee collection services. The proposed contract action covers services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals; however this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Inquiries and proposals received within five (5) days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Comments and questions regarding this announcement may be directed to Alanna R. Gardner, Contracting Officer, at contact@example.gov
