- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source/Sources Sought to John Wiley & Sons Inc. for Enhanced Access License 2022 (UBCM Special Product: Online Books All Titles). In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to John Wiley & Sons Inc. to purchase the enhanced access license subscription service for all Wiley Publishing Online Books (eBooks) for the base period January 01, 2022 through December 31, 2022, plus four, one- year option periods. Wiley Online Library hosts the world�s largest multidisciplinary collection of online resources covering chemistry; engineering; health, life, earth, environmental, physical, and agricultural sciences; social and behavioral sciences; math and statistics; and the humanities. More specifically, this enhanced access license subscription service is part of a DOE consortium offer which NETL, as well as other DOE participation member institutions, are a part of and the subscription service reflects the information needs of the DOE participation member institutions. NETL requires access to this subscription service in order to have permanent/perpetual access to the eBooks selected and information shared between the other DOE participation member institutions. This is considered a sole source to John Wiley & Sons because, to the best of the NETL�s knowledge based on market research conducted, John Wiley & Sons is the sole source subscription provider and only known source that can provide access to this specific enhanced access license subscription service which hosts a large multidisciplinary collection of online resources and provides NETL permanent/perpetual access to all the eBooks selected and information shared between participating members. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 4:00 PM ET on January 20, 2022. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
