Sole Source Synopsis - SAPRO Video Library

The proposed contract action is for commercial services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority for FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government will consider all responses received within seven days after date of publication of this notice of intent. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. SAIC is the only contractor that can guarantee continuity of the Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DON SAPRO) training material due to the corporate knowledge and technical expertise thats been gained since the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program was established across DoD. It is essential that consistent communication is conveyed to all personnel within the DON SAPRO training program. SAIC is uniquely equipped to design and develop SAPR training segments for the DON SAPRO, creating a video library compiling a documentary of Government-provided video footage into short topic-specific segments with a maximum of 100 minutes of final video footage. SAIC is the only source that can develop this video training library because of its proprietary digital video cataloguing system and database and its dynamic and cutting-edge expertise with regard to this sensitive issue, its ongoing working relationship with the SAPR staff, overall SAPR knowledge base, and past performance with SAPR training development and coordination expertise. Moreover, SAICs internal practices include an SAIC-owned audio transcription database categorizing multiple SAPR topics, allowing previously recorded training clips and interviews to be easily accessible for production. The additional costs and the time delay in producing new training videos would overshadow any potential benefit of competition and are not expected to be recovered though competition. The applicable North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 512191.
