A determination by the Government to not complete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this noticed is solely within the discretion of the Government.

If the Agency does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement by the specified date, negotiations will be conducted with Inveris Training Solutions, INC as the only source and delivery order will be issued without any additional notices being posted. Any and all questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted in writing to CWO4 John Caicedo - email [email protected].

As a result of this notice, a separate award notice or further public notices shall not be made. This notice constitutes all of the USCG’s public notice requirements.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is responsible for managing the training, education, and development of programs to meet the needs of its active duty, reserve, and civilian workforce. The purpose of this Combined Sole Source Synopsis/Solicitation is to obtain the required services/supplies at SMTC aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC and provide highly proficient training to all required USCG personnel.
