- Description
- The Department of Energy (DOE) is pursuing a one year sole source contract with four, one year options, from Wood Mackenzie for Pathfinder Subscription Service Database. This acquisition will be executed under FAR Part 12 guidelines. The requirement consists of licenses for the current version of the Pathfinder service, which compiles field level information on historical and projected hydrocarbon production, development history, financial indicators, and corporate holdings. This database is a critical component of numerous reports required from EIA by law, for example the Annual Energy Outlook and the International Energy Outlook. While there are other sources for domestic oil field information, there is no single source for international field level data of this variety which is comparable to the Pathfinder service. This requirement is composed of a basic package of licenses and support which will form the initial award, with further optional items and periods to b e awarded subsequently based on funding availability. In accordance with Competition in Contracting Act, 41 USC 253 [c] [1], and implemented by FAR 6.302-1, other than full and open competition is authorized when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research has revealed no other service with as detailed or thorough data on historic and expected future costs, taxes, investment returns, or stream specific future production for fields and production projects outside the United States. The only known competitor for international field level data, I.H.S. Energy, was contacted and their products researched. The research revealed that this competitor did not offer as complete or up-to-date international field level data on production or costs as contained in Wood Mackenzie?s Pathfinder and did not offer any field level projections of this variety such as those contained in Pathfinder. Due to both the scope (the world excluding the United States) and the d etail imbedded in EIA modeling of long term international liquids production, it is necessary for the supporting data to be as detailed and complete as possible. This is a notice of intent and no solicitation is available for this requirement. Interested parties may submit capability statement and rationale by June 15, 2009 via e-mail to monica.serrano@hq.doe.gov. The written response must include a general statement for services mentioned in this announcement and past performance client information for similar work.
