- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; PROPOSALS ARE NOT BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The versions of provisions and clauses incorporated herein are those in effect as of Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-36 dated 8/11/09. The Virginia Contracting Activity intends a sole source award for subscription services to Bloomberg L.P. for one base year with four 1-year options. The applicable NAICS code is 519130-Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. There are no set-asides identified for this procurement. The Virginia Contracting Activity is seeking a contract with the Bloomberg L.P. that will allow for access to real-time and historical pricing, indicative data, reporting, research, estimates, analytics, portfolio management tools, electronic trading & order manage systems, multimedia event and electronic communications in a single integrated unclassified desktop solution. The Bloomberg subscription is expected to be a valuable addition to Government analysts. Nearly all topics covered are relevant to the, such as Emerging Markets, Equity, Debt, Currency, and Capital Markets, Economics, World News, Company News, Special Country Reports, and Editorials. Bloomberg provides a non-Governmental point of view that is crucial for the Government's understanding of world economies and risks. There are other sources (Reuter’s, Telerate) that provide similar services, but DIA has determined that as a pilot, Bloomberg provides the best type of analysis, global coverage, and special reports necessary for comprehensive financial related analysis. Market Research (NASA SEWP, GSA-e-BUY) have not been able to identify a third party distribution source for Bloomberg Subscription Services. Therefore, the Government intends to sole source this requirement to Bloomberg, LP. This solicitation incorporates the FAR clauses 52.212-1 (Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (Jun 2008)); 52.212-3 (Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (Feb 2009)); 52.212-4 (Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (Mar 2009)); 52.212-5 (Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (May 2009)); 52.217-8 (Option to Extend the Services); 52.217-9 (Option to Extend the Term of the Contract); 52.232-18 (Subject to Availability of Funds); 52.232-19 (Subject to Availability of Funds for Next Year); and 52.237-3 (Continuity of Services) for commercial items and services. INQUIRIES CONCERNING THIS INTENT TO PROCURE SERVICES ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED to Roberta.richardson@dia.mil
