- 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 Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank of the United States' Research Library intends to make an award to the Financial Times (FT), 330 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10013, for Bank-wide online access to FT content via IP recognition with access to ePaper, the digital version of the Financial Times newspaper. In accordance with FAR part 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Financial Times provides a non-U.S. point of view that is crucial for the Bank's understanding of world economies and risks including topics such as emerging markets, equity, debt, currency, capital markets, economics, company news, special country reports, and editorials. Online access allows Ex-Im Bank staff members to access the FT's content and to receive personalized alerts on topics of interest. The Financial Times is not generally available through aggregators, but, since Ex-Im Bank holds a corporate subscription, Research Library staff are able to include the FT when searching for topical news and information using Factiva. Finally, the subscription is only available from its producer/manufacturer and not through dealers or distributors. Financial Times is the only source for this subscription service. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Capability statements must be received by the response date and time of this notice. Submissions will be reviewed to determine if they can meet the requirement. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is anticipated that an award will be issued to Financial Times, within approximately fifteen (15) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that any other organization has the capacity to meet this requirement. Please access the Federal Business Opportunities website (FedBizOpps): https://www.fbo.gov/ for access to this Solicitation. To be eligible for award an Offeror must be registered in the System for Acquisition Management (SAM) database. Offerors may register free of charge at https://www.sam.gov.
