- Description
- NAICS Code: 561920 The Office of Air Programs, Stratospheric Protection Division of the Environmentl Protection Agency (EPA), under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Rules (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, intends to issue a sole source purchase order to AgriculturalResearch Consulting for support of the 2010 Methyl Bromide Alternative Outreach (MBAO) Conference. The support will include conference planning, conference organization and inmplementation and distribution of conference proceedings. The annual Methyl Bromide Alternatives Outreach (MBAO) conference is the only worldwide conference focused on sharing research and field trial experience relating to methyl bromide alternatives. The MBAO conference has been in effect since 1994 and continues to serve as a useful platform for sharing information, as the January 1, 2005 phase out of methyl bromide has taken effect. The period of performance will be date of award through March 31, 2011. Only Agricultural Research Consulting has the knowledge and past experience to organize and host a conference on alternatives to methyl bromide in a timely, inexpensive and effective manner that avoids a significant waste of government resources and insures government objectives will be successfully accomplished. First, obtaining conference services from a different source would require organizing a completely new conference from its initial stages. Second, EPA's contribution is joined by that of USDA and other entities towards Agricultural Research Consulting for the MBAO conference. Were EPA to organize and host a conference on its own, the cost of doing so would be greater than the amount EPA contributes to the organization of the MBAO conference. Third, any new conference would not have the reputation or institutional history of the MBAO conference and would not attract the same caliber of presenters or the same attendees. Due to the nature of this procurement, EPA believes there is only one responsible source capable of meeting these requirements. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a response, which is received by COB, Friday April 30, 2010, will be considered. Responses must be submitted in writing via the email link below. No telephone calls will be accepted. The point of contact for this procurement is NIcole Schuller, Contracting Officer, at schuller.nicole@epa.gov.
