- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Purchase to ASTM International Posted Date: January 12th, 2015 Procurement Office: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Headquarters Procurement Operations Division Response Date: January 26th, 2015, 5:00pm EST The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to ASTM International. ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence. ASTM will provide service to an on-line subscription to the complete book of ASTM standards. The Agency has procured this electronic subscription for multiple years to provide Agency users with access on their desktop. The service provides Agency scientist and technical staff with essential information for scientific evaluation and research. Failure to extend this task order would disrupt EPA's ability to respond in an effective and timely manner to the research needs of the Agency for policy and scientific decision making. This procurement is consistent with the Agency?s top seven priorities to protect human health and safeguard the natural environment. ASTM International is the sole provider of the ASTM Standards. Selecting a publisher or distributor other than ASTM International would not be possible. ASTM International is the publisher and the only source that can deliver the electronic version. At this time, ASTM International has not released the rights for the electronic submission of their information standards to any other publisher or distributor. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only One responsible source and no other supplies or services satisfy the Agency's requirements. Notwithstanding, any firm who believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein may submit a response, which if received within 10 calendar days of the date of this announcement, will be considered. Responses to this posting must be in writing. The point of contact for this requirement is Andrew Howe, Contracting Officer, at howe.andrew@epa.gov.
