- This is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation, but merely notification of SSA's Intent to Renew, on a sole-source basis, a firm-fixed price purchase order to American Psychological Association for continued access to their online electronic subscription entitled, "PsycNet". Per FAR Part 13.106-1 (b)(1)(i), Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). American Psychological Association is only available from its producer and manufacturer and not through dealers or distributors. The PsycNET subscription includes APA databases PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES. The period of performance will be for twelve months, beginning October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018, with an additional two options years, if exercised. The requirement is utilizing procedures in FAR Part 12 in conjunction with procedures in FAR Part 13. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. A determination by SSA not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of SSA. Information received will normally be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

Responses shall be submitted by 2:00PM EST on Friday July 7, 2017. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement by July 7, 2017, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with American Psychological Association, INC as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
