- Description
- AF Libraries Popular Online Publications The Air Force is publishing a Sources Sought Synopsis. There is no solicitation available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to determine if there are any businesses available who are capable of providing the information described herein. The USAF has a requirement to provide the AF Libraries with online publications. This will be utilized to explore multiple magazines titles through a digital platform with cutting edge technology. It will allow the readers to learn from a variety of educational topics, while promoting other interests and pursuing hobbies. This requirement is planned to fulfill a need for AF personnel and their dependents, civilians and joint services personnel authorized to use the base library. One method of meeting this requirement is a subscription to Recorded Books LLC, which provides access to hundreds of magazine topics to include, but not limited to, Astronomy, Aviation History, Country Living, Allure, Family Fun, Eating Well, Better Homes and Gardens, Golf Digest, Field & Stream, Runners World, Health and Fitness, Reader's Digest and PC World. The description above is being utilized to describe the requirement. The USAF is looking for alternative sources/other subscriptions that can meet this USAF requirement. The method is anticipated to be a one-year subscription. This request for information will support market research being conducted by AFLCMC/PZIEC to identify capable potential sources. The acquisition strategy has not yet been determined. Market research results will assist the Air Force in determining whether this requirement will be full and open, a small business set aside, or a sole source acquisition. If this effort becomes a Small Business Set-Aside, FAR 52.219-14, "Limitation on Subcontracting" will apply. Therefore, small businesses that want to be considered for a small business set-aside should demonstrate how they could comply. Companies may be contacted if further information is needed to help us to understand the marketplace.
