- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT This synopsis is hereby issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.203 in response to the mandatory requirement for a 15-day notification. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) intent to negotiate a modification to its existing USA Learning (USAL) Knowledge Portal contract with Powertrain, Inc., OPM2615D0001, to increase the overall ceiling value of the contract by $180,000,000 to a total of $290,000,000. The Government intends to negotiate the ceiling increase solely with Powertrain, Inc. per FAR 6.302-1, as no other source of supplies or services will currently satisfy agency requirements. The current vendor provides services through the referenced Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The IDIQ is currently in Option Year three (March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019). There is one option year remaining to be exercised which will result in an ultimate contract expiration date of February 27, 2020. Due to extraordinary growth of demand for e-learning services and the pending DoD IT reform initiative, OPM must increase the current contract ceiling of the IDIQ. OPM is currently developing its requirements for a new competed contract to replace the existing IDIQ; however, due to its complexity and criticality, OPM does not believe the new requirement can be fully developed and the new contract can be awarded and operational prior to the ultimate expiration of the existing contract. As such, OPM will require an increase to the ceiling of the existing contract to sustain support of multiple agencies through its expiration. OPM estimates that it will need to increase the value of its existing contract by $180,000,000 to meet ongoing needs through the remainder of the contract term. This estimate is based on historical data, an analysis of business growth, extraordinary expansion of the e-learning market, and the increased popularity of the shared service provider model. The contractor providing services for this requirement must be at a minimum FedRAMP Moderate (DoD IL2) for all existing applications and environments. The Government's decision not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive quotations. However, responses received by August 10, 2018 3:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time will be considered for market research purposes only.
