The Pine Bluff Arsenal, Pine Bluff, AR intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Orion Registrar Inc., 7850 Vance Dr., Arvada, CO 80003. This requirement is for a contractor to perform the required audits for re-certification of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. The contractor shall be a Registrar accredited through the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The period of performance will be for approximately 5 years, as the Orion Registrar Inc. will be responsible for filing the re-certifications and follow up audits as required. Orion Registrar Inc. has provided these services for Pine Bluff Arsenal through full and open competition over the past few years. It is felt that the Government would not save any monies by obtaining a new contractor as the learning curve would start over and be more time consuming for Pine Bluff Arsenal personnel. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to this requirement by submitting written capabilities to the Contract Specialist identified below. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 3 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 3 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Orion Registrar Inc. The NAICS Code/Size is 541990/$7 million. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition threshold of $150,000. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Pamela J. Burton via email @ [email protected].
