- Description
- � � �Notice of Intent to Award The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Consolidated Service Center (CSC) intends to award a�sole source contract to PatSnap� UK) Ltd. The anticipated period of performance for this contract�will be for a one-year license. The licensing agreement is� anticipated to run from October 1st,�2021 through September 30th, 2022. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, other than full and open�competition is authorized when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or�services will satisfy agency requirements. The government intends to award one base year and oneoption year. Background: The DOE�s Patent Council identifies potential licensing and collaboration partners�around the globe for existing� intellectual property (IP) developments, as well as assess the�potential commercial appeal of contemplated patent filings. The PatSnap platform promotes�detailed analyses on the patentability of an idea, better understanding of global players working in various technology areas quickly and efficiently; benchmark, validate and evaluate intellectual�property portfolios of universities, companies and collaborators; graphically understand the�infringement potential of current and future intellectual property pipeline; and minimizes spending�on patent portfolios that are not likely to be commercially viable (e.g., unlikely to be licensed) by�making smarter and earlier decisions to abandon applications at key deadlines. PatSnap (UK) Ltd is uniquely qualified to provide this service. It is imperative that the historical�knowledge and expertise gained by the Patent Council through the use of this very unique software�platform be uninterrupted. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays as�employees would be required to learn a new software system based on different data points and�would result in duplication of costs that would not be recovered through competition. These�delays will negatively impact the progress of currently ongoing projects. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) AND NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. That notwithstanding, any vendor who believes it is capable of meeting the DOE CSC requirement�as stated herein may submit a response, which will be considered if received by August 27th, 2021�by 2pm EST. Responses to this posting must be in writing and submitted to�robert.burke@science.doe.gov by 2pm Eastern Standard Time. A determination not to compete�the�proposed�requirement based upon the responses to this sole source notice is solely within the�government�s discretion. 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.
