The purpose of this RFI is to provide industry the opportunity to identify themselves as interested sources, capable of meeting the requirement for providing universal certification of the following approved American Heart Association courses: Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Life Support (PALS). American Heart Association (AHA) E-Certification Cards shall be provided after each student completes the written exam for applicable courses. We are not seeking any contractor-provided training, but rather E-Certification Cards (AHA). All training and exams will be administered by internal staff. The information sought herein shall not be construed as a request for quote (RFQ) or an obligation or commitment on the part of the Government to acquire any product or service. There shall be no basis for claims against the Government as a result of information submitted in response to the Sources Sought. Current market research shows that there is only one vendor capable of fulfilling the requirement. However, it is the Government’s intent to include responses to this Sources Sought when making its final determination to negotiate on a sole-source basis. INTERESTED SOURCES CAPABLE OF FULFILLING THIS REQUIREMENT shall submit documentation addressing all required elements listed herein; providing only a reference to a website is, unacceptable for the purposes of this announcement and will not be considered or reviewed. All proprietary or corporate data received shall be clearly identified, and shall be protected from release to sources outside the Government. Contractors interested in providing this service should be registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov). Contractors responding to this Sources Sought are asked to provide the following information: company’s full name and address, DUNS number, applicable North American Industry Classification Standards (NAICS) and business size (whether they are a Large, Small, Small- Disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Historically Black College or University and/or Minority Service Institute), and a point of contact. Respondents should advise the Government of pending changes in the business size status. In addition, any additional documentation. FINAL DETERMINATION: Provided no other interested sources with the capability to fulfill this requirement are identified, USASOC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the American Heart Association 7272 Greenville Ave Dallas, TX 75231. Responses shall be submitted electronically via email to debbie.harris.civ@socom.mil. All responses shall be submitted by 4:00 PM EDT 2 April 2020. Respondents are cautioned that due to file size limitation and email security protocols, there is a risk that this office will not receive all correspondence. It is the interested parties’ responsibility to ensure receipt of all emails and faxed correspondences. If a receipt has not been acknowledged within 24 hours, please contact the Contracting Office at 910-432-6637. Respondents will NOT be individually notified of the results. However, if the final determination results in the verification of a sole-source negotiation, a Notice of Intent to Sole Source and the redacted Justification and Approval will be posted to Contract Opportunities on beta.SAM.gov.
