INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433- 5344
This is a combined Sole Source Synopsis/Solicitation published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of one (1) Site Security Manager (SSM) training courses for HQ AFMC A5/8Z at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It was determined that Singularity Security Group is capable of meeting the Government’s specifications in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), resulting in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.
The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code 611430-Professional and Management Development Training. The proposed source, Singularity Security Group, 1218 Discher Drive Frankfort, KY 40601 is the only vendor capable of fulfilling the requirements outlined in the PWS, including supplying student equipment for hands-on computer exercises/labs, for providing SAP specific SSM training. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) business days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Singularity Security Group. Is the only vendor capable of fulfilling the requirements outlined in the PWS for SSM training. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to Singularity Security. Please see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for more complete details.
Other vendors were researched between 20 November 2023 and 14 February 2024, including Palmers Contracting Group.
A Sources Sought was posted on SAM.gov on 5 April 2024 for ten days. Five (5) vendors replied, Aleut, Helios Defense Solutions, OREADY LLC, Secure360, and Symbiont. None indicated the required executable curriculum outlined in the Performance Work Statement.
Aside from Singularity Security Group, none of the researched vendors currently provide the SSM training covering specific roles, responsibilities, and duties, required by HQ AFMC/A5/8Z.
