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.

This effort shall be for the initial design and full development of assigned CGC classes/lessons, corresponding instructor guides, and all student-facing training materials as described in this PWS and must work in tandem with the GOV who will be simultaneously developing the inherently governmental curriculum portion to ensure continuity and branding consistency. All contractor-developed materials, including but not limited to lessons, activities, templates, and assessments, are subject to formal Government review and approval prior to implementation. Delivered over a two-month period, CGC is a cohort-driven, interactive course that uses a blended learning model. The initial online phase shall consist of a 40-hour online curriculum, comprising a mix of synchronous and asynchronous engagements. This phase shall be developed as a high-engagement, multi-modal experience rather than a collection of static lectures or slide presentations. These 40 hours to complete the curriculum will include mandatory readings, instructional video engagement, independent assignments and other knowledge assessments, online synchronous group collaboration, and direct synchronous (online or offline) interaction with the instructor and other SMEs. The course culminates in a one-week residential capstone focused on high-fidelity, performance-based activities, including instructor-led simulations.

The Contractor will be required to participate in all curriculum development and iteration efforts from pre-execution through post-execution. The Contractor shall be responsible for the complete build-out and technical configuration of all assigned course content within the Government-provided Learning Management System (LMS).

Additionally, all required multi-media support and Instructional Systems Design (ISD) support for the performance period are outlined in this PWS.
