No other entity can furnish these documents through the ASTM portal without infringing on ASTM's copyrights. The period of performance for this effort is one base year with two one year options. The authority for negotiating on a sole source bases is made under 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)( 1) and FAR 13.106-1 which permits soliciting from a single source, if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only once source is reasonably available.

Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the NRC's needs. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to the above address not later than 5 calendar days from the date this announcement appears in the Federal Business Opportunities.
