- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b) with Chemical Abstracts Service, 2540 Planting River Road, Columbus, OH 43210, for the subscription renewal to Chemical Abstracts that provides journal articles and patents, index terms from weekly indexes such as Author Index, Keyword Index, and Patent Index. The Chemical Abstracts Full Service renewal is required to support the existing 52 weekly printed issues plus printed volumes indexes for purposes of uniformity, continuity of services, and cost control. The renewal services may only be obtained directly from Chemical Abstracts, which possesses proprietary rights to the subscription services. The Government is unaware that any other source that can provide the required Chemical Abstracts services. Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. NIST intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to Chemical Abstracts Service for the subscription unless other sources are identified before response date to this posting. The period of performance shall be January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The list of contract line item numbers (CLIN), their descriptions, the related quantity of each, and the unit of measure for the upgrade are as follows: CLIN 0001, Subscription renewal to Chemical Abstracts Full Service 52 Weekly printed issues plus printed volumes indexes; Quantity: 1; Unit of Measure, LT. This notice of intent is not a request for quotation; no solicitation is available, however, any interested party believes it can meet the requirements may submit written notification to the Contracting Officer of their interest and bona fide capability to fulfill the requirements. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirements listed. Such information will be reviewed to determine if it is necessary to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government.
