- Description
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source Purchase Order with Dialog LLC of Morrisville, NC for a literature search service with one year of subscription access. plus 4 option years to Dialog's databases.The EPA believes that the Dialog ProQuest Corporation is the only source capable of providing this database access. The EPA library staff needs access to a collection of databases covering agriculture, business and industry news, chemistry, company directories, energy and the environment, engineering and technology, food science and nutrition, market research, medicine and biosciences, news and magazines, patent, trademark and copyright, pharmaceuticals, product information and social science and humanities. The service must offer selective field searching across one or more of these databases simultaneously using a specialized language that allows the librarian to produce records that are targeted to the specific research and discovery needs of EPA scientists, policy-makers and managers. This service must also provide links to full-text articles and allow for tagged output for use in post-processing software.Since this procurement is being considered a commercial service, simplified procurement procedures will be used in accordance with FAR 13.5. The base period of performance for this order is expected to be 10/01/11 through 09/30/12. All interested parties who believe that they can provide these required services should fully explain their capabilities and qualifications in writing within 15 days from the date of this announcement. The intent of this synopsis is to determine if any other sources exist and, therefore, no Request for Quote (RFQ) is available at this time unless the interested party provides the aforementioned information. Consequently, any responses that fail to provide the aforementioned information and instead request a copy of the RFQ will not be honored. Submittals should be made to Christopher Davis (919-541-4609) via email at davis.christopher@epa.gov.
