U -- SAT Test Scores

The 42nd Contracting Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, plans to award a sole source purchase order to The College Board for a specific list of students who took the SAT between the winter and summer cycles of 2005, are scheduled to graduate in 2006, and achieved a minimum score of 1250. This procurement is conducted under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source contracting when only one responsible source exists that can meet the agency's requirements. The purchase order will be firm-fixed-price, and no solicitation documents will be issued. Although this notice does not serve as a request for competitive bids, any other businesses capable of fulfilling the requirement were invited to submit supporting documentation by 3:00 pm CST on September 9, 2005, for consideration. The contract falls under the NAICS code 611710, which relates to educational services, and it involves the Department of Defense through the 42nd Contracting Squadron. The acquisition specifically involves the purchase of student SAT score information and is managed by Contract Specialist Areea D. Malone, who can be contacted for more details. The solicitation number is FA3300-05-SpN-Scores, and the requirement is centered around securing data critical for identifying high-scoring graduating students from the specified timeframe. This sole source action is intended to streamline procurement while ensuring the agency’s specific information needs are met by the sole known supplier.
