- Description
- The Department of Commerce/National Institute of Standards and Technology intends to award a twelve (12) month sole source purchase order with two one-year option periods. This requirement is for a renewal to Elsevier Engineering Information, Inc., 360 Park Avenue South New York, New York for NIST access to bibliographic citations, and abstracts in the field of engineering for NIST engineers. NIST requires an intuitive, easy to use interface for NIST Engineers. It must be updated at least weekly. This will provide NIST engineers with current engineering information and provide access to competitive international engineering literature in a comprehensive database of engineering materials. The tool Compendex on Engineering Village has been purchased by the NIST Research Library for the past several years, and is the only resource on the market that NIST is aware of that meets the criteria specified above. Compandex on Engineering Village provides broad subject areas of engineering and applied science in a comprehensive manner. Coverage includes nuclear technology bioengineering, transportation, chemical and process engineering, light and optical technology, agricultural engineering and food technology, computers and data processing, applied physics, electronics and communications, control, civil, mechanical, materials, petroleum, aerospace and automotive engineering as well as narrower subtopics within all these and other major engineering fields. Online coverage is from 1969 to the present. Elsevier is the only source that can fulfill this requirement. Therefore, the Government intends to solicit only this one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested concerns may identify their interest and submit a capability statement that demonstrates in written narrative format detailed information addressing their ability to meet the requirement and objectives as described in this synopsis. Capability statements may be e-mailed to Barbara.Guise@nist.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. No solicitation is available; therefore, requests for such a document will be considered invalid responses. A determination by the Government whether to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government.
