- Description
- INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: The Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Services (IRS), Office of Treasury Procurement Services (OTPS) intends to award a sole source award, under Simplified acquisition Procedures (Dollar Threshold of $29,970.00) to provide on-line Politico Pro subscription services for the Department of the Treasury, Departmental Offices, SIGTARP Legislative Affairs Office. Accordingly, IRS intends to sole source this requirement to Politico Pro, 110 Wilson Boulevard, 6th Floor, Arlington, VA 22209. The sole source award will be made under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), Soliciting from a single source, for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. A Justification and Approval was approved and processed through Small Business Administration. This requirement is intended as a sole source contract because there are no other news outlets or vendors that cover legislative and regulatory issues as thoroughly or reliably as POLITICO Pro. POLITICO Pro's reporters covering the trade beat reliably and frequently break industry-changing news stories, carry the exclusive interviews with leaders in our field, and provide insights to policy makers that no other source can. POLITICO Pro - and the information therein - can only be purchased through POLITICO Pro representatives. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals within 5 days (January 30, 2015, No later than 2:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time [EST])of this notice, which will be considered by the Government. The Government will notify parties of the outcome of any proposal submitted in response. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No award will be made on the basis of any quotations/proposals or other information received in response to this notice since this is a notification of intent to acquire and not a request for proposals. The period of performance for this action is one year from date of award. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to the Contracting Officer, Ms. Minnie Wright at the following email address: minnie.p.wright@irs.gov. DISCLAIMER: This notice is not a Request for Proposals or Solicitation, nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. This notice is not a commitment from the Government. The Government will not reimburse any bid or proposal costs as a result of this notification. However, any future solicitation that will be open to competition will be subsequently issued on FedBizOpps in order to permit firms to respond.
