U--INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT to Washington State Fire Academy

The USPFO of Colorado plans to award a sole source contract to the Washington State Fire Training Academy for specialized training at their facility. This procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) 1 and FAR Part 6.302-1, indicating that only one responsible source is capable of fulfilling the agency's unique requirements within the necessary timeframe. The contract focuses on fire training services and is supported by a detailed Statement of Work specifying the nature of the training to be delivered. Due to the uniqueness of the resources and timing constraints, no other providers will meet the government's needs. Interested parties were invited to respond by June 19, 2015, with responses directed via email to the designated government contact. The government retains sole discretion in deciding whether or not to compete the contract after considering responses. The contract is associated with the Department of Defense, specifically under a classified NAICS code 922160, with the contracting office based in Aurora, Colorado. This sole source award helps ensure timely delivery of the critical training services necessary for the agency's mission readiness.
