Notice of Intent - Sole Source - SOG Assessmentview on SAM.gov

Notice of Intent to award a sole source requirement for SOG Assessment Services to Horizon Performance LLC (UEI: K4U8LGLJ2LG1). This proposed contract action is for SOG Assessment Services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO FAR 13-106-1(b)(1)(i) – Only One Responsible Source. Horizon Performance has successfully implemented a turnkey solution for the BORTAC Selection and Certification Course holistic personnel assessment system. The system is fully operationally capable and currently supports BORTAC's assessment requirements. BORTAC now requires annual software licensing, continued maintenance, technical consultation, and additional configuration or expansion of capability as required under the period of performance. Horizon Performance is the only source reasonably available to meet this requirement because Horizon Performance developed and currently maintains the customized assessment platform and associated configurations used for the BORTAC Selection and Certification Course.

Provide qualified Industrial/Organizational Psychology and subject matter expert consulting applicable to the assessment of individuals as part of an elite organization. Provide a developed Commercial Off-The-Shelf customizable software solution with technical configurations specific to the identified SOG training ecosystems. Maintain, update, and modify the existing proprietary system without disruption to the current BORTAC assessment capability. Integrate BORSTAR requirements into the same assessment framework to ensure compatibility of methodology, data structure, reporting, and longitudinal analysis across SOG programs. A change to another vendor would require development of a new assessment system, recreation of BORTAC-specific configurations, potential re-baselining of assessment data, additional validation and consulting support, and transition activities. These activities would result in duplicative cost and delay and would not meet the Government's requirement for continuity of the…
