NIST determined, after extensive market research, that Elsevier B.V. is the sole source for the electronic access to Elsevier scientific publications full-text, and access to scientific publications from Fiscal Year 2000 to present. NIST proposes to engage into a purchase order with a period of performance starting March 1, 2007 through February 28, 2008 (base period) with four (4) one-year options to extend the term of the contract for that subscription. The purchase order will be awarded under FAR Subpart 13.5. The scope of the acquisition to which this synopsis applies includes current offerings under ScienceDirect, as well as any new or replacement offerings for World Wide Web access to scientific publications from Elsevier B.V. A firm-fixed-price purchase order under Elsevier ScienceDirect Electronic will be issued. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 511120, and the size standard is 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for offers; however, interested parties may identify their interest and specific capability to respond to the requirement, in writing. Written responses to this synopsis must contain sufficiently detailed documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirements. Responses must be submitted in .rtf, .txt, .doc, .xls and/or .pdf format by email to Myrsonia.Lutz@nist.gov.
