Description

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a full text dial-up and internet information retrieval service that provides access and data retrieval electronically. The service must provide legal, tax, financial and similar professional information for all SEC organizations. The selected source must provide full text, dial-up and interent retrieval service from a range of legal, tax, financial and related professional information. At a minimum, the information should be based on periodicals, newspapers, magazines, government data, wire services files, newsletters and similar professional sources on issues that include environment and energy, U.S. and International trade and business, financial and business data by company, intellectual property and patents, banking, automated data processing, management, biographical, technologies, science and medicine, advertising and public relations, accounting, and commodities. The service shall also provide tax law information to include state and federal case law, related statutory and regulatory materials, Internal Revenue Service releases and publications, and law school and legal associates' publications. The service must also include the U.S. Code of federal laws and State laws in a codified format. In order to meet this information requirement, the SEC intends to obtain Lexis/Nexis full text dial up information retrieval service from Lexis-Nexis, 1150 185th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036. The period of performance for this service is one year. The SEC will contract for the service through the Library of Congress' FEDLINK under an Interagency Agreement. The SEC has selected Lexis/Nexis because it meets the government's minimum information needs and significant savings are achieved by the government through a FEDLINK group rate for all participating Federal Agencies.In addition, the dial-up service will include a high speed connection to the SEC's Local Area Network for multiple concurrent access to the Lexis/Nexis information retrieval service. Note 22 applies.
