- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Integrated Support Center - Chicago intends to award a sole source contract to Patsnap PTE LTD, Standard House, Godalming Surrey, GU7 1XE, United Kingdom, for a one year subscription to Patsnap Search and 3D Landscape software license. The sole source basis is in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). The sole source justification is based on the need for software that can only be obtained from the original service provider. The software is a global patent search and analysis platform that has software tools to create patent landscape maps and to analyze patent portfolio distributions. PatSnap is the only responsible vendor capable of meeting the Government's requirement. PatSnap will enable the Department's Patent Counsel to more quickly identify relevant prior art during its invention evaluations and to better assist DOE Program in identifying key technologies, including those funded by the Department, and their owners using a worldwide database that provides quick results in various textual and visual formats, for example in the form of a 3D patent landscape. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Inquiries will only be accepted via e-mail to pamela.rapcan@science.doe.gov. DOE will consider responses received by 4:00 P.M. Central Time, 26 August 2015. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. A determination by DOE not to compete this proposed requirement based upon the response to this notice is solely within the discretion of DOE. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. The NAICS code is 511210 with a size standard of $38.5M.
