- Description
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to CoStar Incorporated for subscriptions to verify information on commercial property available for lease across the United States. TSA intends to award this requirement under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a)(ii), test program for commercial items (section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996) or the authority of the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (41 U.S.C. 428a) for a base year period, and eight to eleven subscriptions are required for four, one-year, subsequent option year periods. TSA, requires these subscriptions because it has requirements for leasing offices for TSA workspace across the U.S. (currently, TSA leases space in the vicinity of 450 federalized airports), and TSA requires access to information that will provide TSA with commercial real estate market research for future leased space requirements. TSA also requires mobile access with their subscriptions, with "mobile access" defined as the ability to permit users to access their subscription from anywhere in the United States. This synopsis is not a request for competitive quotes. It is a notice that outlines the Government's intent to contract on a sole source basis with CoStar Incorporated. Sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government. Detailed capabilities must be submitted by email to Mr. Paul Bean ( Paul.Bean@tsa.dhs.gov ) in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2007, no later than 10:00 am Local Time, Washington, DC January 21, 2014. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses shall be limited to no more than one (1) page. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals but is displaying the Government's intent to pursue a sole source strategy for this acquisition.
