Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department Groton office, Groton, CT intends to award a Sole Source Purchase Order to New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) for their annual membership fee for accreditation. This contract is essential as the federal government requires that colleges, universities, or programs be accredited to be eligible for federal grants and loans or other federal funds. Market research indicates that NECHE is the only federally approved accreditor in the Northeast region, making this procurement necessary to fulfill accreditation requirements. Work Details The contractor will provide the annual membership fee for NECHE accreditation. This includes ensuring that the supplies or services are compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems currently installed and performing. The contractor must describe how the new item/service will coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. Accreditation from NECHE is required to maintain uniformity and continuation of accreditation procured under prior contract N0018925PG022. Additionally, it is noted that a patent, copyright, or proprietary data limits competition as NECHE owns and maintains all standards for current and prior accreditations.
