U--I/CAD SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION BOOT CAMP & I/CAD SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION TRAINING

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Gordon, Georgia, plans to award a sole-source contract to Intergraph Corporation for providing I/CAD System Administration Boot Camp and System Administration training. This procurement falls under NAICS code 611420 and is justified by the authority under 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows non-competitive awards when only one responsible source exists. The government intends to acquire this requirement using Simplified Acquisition Procedures according to FAR part 13 and commercial procedures under FAR part 12. No solicitation will be issued, and this notice does not request competitive proposals; however, interested parties may submit written responses demonstrating why competition would benefit the government by the deadline of 8:00 a.m. EST on September 22, 2011. Responses must be in writing and emailed to the designated government contact, with oral communications not being accepted. If no affirmative responses are received by the deadline, the contract is expected to be awarded without further notice. The government reserves sole discretion regarding whether to compete the requirement. The contract focuses on specialized training for I/CAD system administration, critical for supporting operational needs, and is intended to be awarded to a single source due to the unique capabilities or proprietary nature of the required training services. The contracting office involved belongs to the Department of Defense, specifically the W6QM MICC at Fort Gordon.
