The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for a training database subscription. The compliant product is available solely from CBT Nuggets, LLC, as the specific database selection maintained by CBT Nuggets, LLC has been found to be the only provider able to offer in one package a multitude of required cyber training. The NAICS code is 511210 and the business size is $38.5 million.

The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to CBT Nuggets, LLC. The proposed action is for the subscription use of training videos, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: CBT Nuggets, LLC provides multiple required certification videos, with no comparable item on the market. The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to CBT Nuggets, LLC using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than noon (12:00PM) 24 September 2018. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responses received by 12:00 PM on 09/24/2018 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

Inquiries should be directed to Michael Bonaiuto at [email protected] and Gary Whitney at [email protected].
