The document outlines a Single Source Justification for a contract issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to secure training services focused on Return on Investment (ROI) methodologies. The Human Resource Solutions/Center for Leadership Development (HRS/CLD) requires a contractor to provide two 5-day training courses for up to 30 personnel each, enhancing their capacity to conduct ROI analyses. The selected contractor must possess certifications in ROI training, extensive experience (over 20 years), and a deep understanding of public sector challenges related to ROI. The justification highlights that the contractor is the only vendor offering this specialized training and the proprietary ROI certification, developed and owned by ROI Institute, Inc. This exclusivity underpins the necessity of a sole-source contract, as no other vendor provides similar certification or content. The estimated contract value and a firm fixed-price structure are indicated, with all logistics and training management falling under the contractor's responsibility within a 12-month base period. The document concludes with a certification of accuracy from the contracting officer.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plans to negotiate a sole-source Fixed Price Purchase Order with ROI Institute, Inc. for the provision of Return on Investment (ROI) Professional Certification. This proprietary certification is exclusively offered by ROI Institute, which holds trademark and proprietary rights to the associated methodology. The contract is projected to have a one-year base period, with an anticipated award date of December 1, 2024. The OPM's decision to proceed without competition is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for sourcing from a single responsible provider when necessary. Interested firms have seven days from the publication of this notice to express their capabilities to the Contract Specialist, providing information regarding their size and ownership classification. All inquiries must be submitted electronically by the specified deadline, as telephone calls and faxes will not be accepted. This notice is part of the government's procurement efforts within federal contracting and grant solicitation protocols.
