The U.S. Department of State intends to award a single-source procurement contract to The American Correctional Association for the accreditation of INPEC facilities located in Acacías, Colombia. This procurement action is justified under FAR Part 6.302-1, which permits sole source contracts when only one responsible entity can fulfill the agency's requirements, emphasizing that no alternative supplies or services will meet the needs of the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá. The accreditation process is crucial for ensuring compliance and operational standards for the facilities in question. Interested parties can direct inquiries to Javier F. Lopez at LopezJF@state.gov, as this is a fixed firm price contract with no specified funding amount or deadlines mentioned in the notice.
