R--Student Name List Purchase

The United States Military Academy intends to award a sole source purchase order to the National Research Center for College and University Admissions (NCURRA) for access to a student name database to support the USMA Admissions Office in recruitment efforts. The estimated contract value is $69,625. This acquisition is justified under statutory authority allowing non-competitive procurement due to the unique capability of the sole source provider and the absence of suitable alternatives. The relevant NAICS code for this service is 611710, with a size standard of $7 million. This notice serves as a formal statement of intent rather than a solicitation, meaning there will be no request for quotations or competitive bids. The timeframe for responses to this notice is shortened to two days instead of the usual 45. The government retains full discretion regarding whether to pursue competition based on responses received. The contract will be managed by the Department of Defense office at West Point, New York, reflecting its role in supporting military academy admissions activities.
