- Description
- The U.S. Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) located in Cambridge, Massachusetts plans to procure on a sole source basis a one-year subscription to an Online Electronic Library service of Pipeline Specifications and Standards with Information Handling Services. Market research shows that Information Handling Service is the only supplier of the Pipeline standards and specifications required. The Volpe Center is tasked to acquire, implement, and manage the electronic library and subscription of required specifications and standards for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Office (PHMSA). The PHMSA State Program electronic distribution of regulatory specifications and standards data was a project started in 2001 by the Office of Pipeline Safety. The electronic distribution of regulatory data and industry standards is one of the steps OPS has taken and continues to provide to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of inspection and enforcement activities. The contractor will provide: (1) consolidated network access to the regulatory data electronically; (2) ensure the regulatory data is up to date; and (3) minimize field inspectors? time in locating the appropriate regulatory information. The Custom Collection Intraspex network service, a proprietary server, will be provided as a multi-site subscription. This service will be provided on an annual subscription basis and the system will be updated daily.

Firms will be required to submit a maximum of three (3) but not less than two (2) pages of documentation in support of the above for evaluation prior to receiving a solicitation. This proposed action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority in FAR Part 6.302 as referenced above. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses received to this notice would normally be considered, solely for the purpose of determining whether to reissue as a competitive procurement.
