U -- Air Force Fellows Program at Harvard University

The Department of Defense, specifically the US Air Force's 42 Contracting Center, plans to award a sole-source purchase order to Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs to cover administrative and event expenses related to the 2005-2006 Air Force Fellows Program. This procurement is justified under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, as only one responsible source is deemed capable of fulfilling the agency's requirements. The contract pertains to NAICS code 611710, which corresponds to educational services, and is managed from Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. Interested entities that believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit a capability statement. The contracting officer for this procurement is David W. Herrig, who can be contacted via email or phone at the Maxwell AFB address. This action reflects the Air Force’s intent to collaborate directly with Harvard University due to its unique qualifications to support the Fellows Program during the specified period.
