The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to issue a Delivery Order against the existing Library of Congress FEDLINK Basic Ordering Agreement Number 174045-BOA to renew a subscription with West Publishing Co./West Services, Inc. for the continued use and access of their nationwide database. This subscription is for on-line electronic retrieval from databases that provide full text access to legal information, along with on-site free training and telephone support. Services will be provided for fiscal year 1997. This acquisition is considered to be non-competitive because the required services are only available from West Publishing Co./West Services. Some of the services offered are: WIN, FULL-TEXT PLUS, DIALOG, JUMP, KEY NUMBER SERVICE, SHEPARD'S PREVIEW AND EZ ACCESS. These services are exclusive to Westlaw. Service will not be limited to central office. Use of the Library of Congress FEDLINK Contract is essential to ensure continuation of services. This system has custom features for GSA. No telephone calls will be accepted. Responses should be in writing and include technical information sufficient to determine capability. See Numbered Note 22. (0358)
