Justification for Sole Source
The government intends to award this contract to MORS due to its unique capabilities in providing an integrated, hands-on training course that blends specific Python and R-Analytic analysis with the "Critical Tools and Emerging Trends" curriculum. Market research indicated that while other vendors offer courses on individual topics, none could provide a pre-existing, customizable curriculum that meets these specific technical requirements. Efforts were made to obtain competition, including contacting TONEX, which could not provide the required customization. The justification also details steps to preclude future single-source awards.
