Description

ACC-NCR intends to issue a sole source RFQ to Congressional Quarterly (CQ.com) for a subscription to Congressional Quarterly On-Line. CQ.com provides in-depth coverage of legislative developments, detailed legislative histories on bills introduced in congress, floor votes, and legislative forecasts. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). ACC-NCR intends to purchase the subscription from Congressional Quarterly (CQ.com) pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of an item determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Competition is impractical for the following reasons: (1) CQ.com is the only comprehensive and integrated legislative tracking system available. (2) CQ.com provides detailed legislative histories of each bill introduced in Congress with direct links to the Congressional Record, committee reports, related bills, floor votes, and stories from CQ Weekly and CQ Daily Monitor. (3) CQ.com provides summaries and forecasts for all major bills before Congress. (4) Vote summaries are prepared by CQ editors and posted within an hour after floor votes. (5) CQ.com provides specialized e-mail alerts on a variety of topics, including Army programs. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on September 2, 2011. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit a response which shall be considered by the agency.
