- Description
- The purpose of the proposed contract is to subscribe to Dialog NewsEdge, Dialog Advantage, and Dialog NewsRoom for one year, as well as to establish a deposit account for the purpose of covering service fees for access to selected resources available on these databases. This is intended as a sole source purchase as no other company/jobber handles the Dialog service products which operate on Thomson Dialog's proprietary software; no other company/jobber provides the same aggregated, broad selection (over 450 databases) of databases available in Dialog Advantage; no other company/jobber provides access to the same over 8,000 global newspapers, Newswires, trade journals and magazines that are in Dialog NewsRoom; and no other company/jobber provides services available through Dialog NewsEdge, such as Editor's Picks Topics and Reach Out Mail. No other company/jobber provides access to Dialog's search engine. The intended source is The Dialog Corporation, 1560 Wilson Blvd., Suite 500, Arlington, VA 22209, Phone: 703-908-2380, Fax: 703-524-1680. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by the posted response date will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
