- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) located in Bethesda, MD on the National Naval Medical Campus, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a one-time purchase with Nature America, 75 Varick ST FL 9, New York, NY 10013 (086900578), for a site license to the Nature Archive (1869-1949). This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures, as stated in FAR 13.106(b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System Code is 519130. Statutory Authority: 13.106(b)(1) (b) Soliciting from a single source. (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization). Online access to the Nature Archive will assist researchers who cannot otherwise visit the library at USUHS to research our print collection. With the aid of online subject searches, researchers will be able to use the online access to search more efficiently and effectively. The sole source determination is based on Nature Publishing being the sole licensor for the Nature Archive (1869-1949). This is the only source known to USUHS which can meet this requirement. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to Timothy.Bunting@usuhs.mil. The expected period of performance begins on September 30, 2008.
