- Description
- The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of the Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price purchase order under the provision of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 to DataCite. This contract will provide a membership that will allow OSTI to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to datasets. These DOIs and their associated metadata are in the DataCite Registry and can be resolved globally. DOI prefix format requirement is brand and version specific for accurate application of reports integrated in the DOE Data ID Service maintained for the Department of Energy. If the contract is awarded to another vendor the government would incur additional costs to reassign DOIs to a different prefix format and there would be a need to provide assistance to DOE Laboratory researchers (data owners) in locating their reports. Seeking these services via another vendor would result in duplication of costs that could not be recove red over the period of performance for this contract. Therefore, the sole source award to DataCite is in the best interest of the government. NAICS code for the acquisition is 813920. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) AND NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any vendor who believes it is capable of meeting the DOE-OSTI?s requirement as stated herein may submit a response, which will be considered only if received by June 3, 2016, by 3:00 pm EST. Responses to this posting must be in writing and submit to paynet@osti.gov by 3:00 pm local time. A determination not to compete the proposed order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Please note that any prospective offeror must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov prior to award in accordance with FAR part 4.11.
