- Description
- This is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation, but merely notification of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) intent to issue, on a sole-source basis, a firm fixed-price purchase order to William S. Hein & Co., Inc. for access to their online subscription entitled "HeinOnline Legal Database". Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 6.302-1, the Contracting Officer has determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. "HeinOnline Legal Database" is only available from its producer and manufacturer and not through dealers or distributors. The period of performance will be for twelve months, beginning October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, with an additional four options years, if exercised. SSA's legal and budget employees will use this subscription for archival documents in researching issues addressing agency statutory and administrative law. This archival legal information is critical to SSA staff in determining the statutory intent of the original law and subsequent amendments from 1939 and forward. The subscription includes: Law Journal Library; Code of Federal Regulations; English Reports, Full Reprint (1220-1867); European Center for Minority Issues; Federal Register Library; Legal Classics; Manual of Patent Examining Procedure; Treaties and Agreements Library; Trends in Law Library Management and Technology; United States Code; U.S. Attorney General Opinions; U.S. Congressional Documents; U.S. Federal Agency Documents, Decisions, and Appeals; U.S. Federal Legislative History Library; U.S. Presidential Library; U.S. Statues at Large; and U.S. Supreme Court Library. "HeinOnline Legal Database" provides complete publishing runs of law reviews and treaties going back to inception of the Social Security Act. This requirement is utilizing procedures in FAR Part 12 in conjunction with procedures in FAR Part 13. A determination by SSA not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of SSA. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The government does not intend to pay for information provided in response to this notice. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. Responses shall be submitted by 12:00PM ET on June 2, 2014. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement by June 2, 2014, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with William S. Hein & Co., Inc. as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted. Respondents should refer to 0919-14-1014 in their responses. All responses must be submitted via email to Molly.Papas@ssa.gov.
