THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisition (OA) on behalf of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive sole source basis to Thomson Reuters (Scientific), INC., 1500 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19130 for the purchase of one Thomson Scientific Integrity 4/user Subscription Access. The sole source determination is based upon the fact that Thompson Reuters Integrity stands alone in its focus on approved and investigational drugs and their mechanisms of action. In addition, the access to patents directly associated with drugs, biological targets and diseases makes Thompson Reuters Integrity particular unique. This product has been in use at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). Continued access to it is essential to the ongoing projects at the center. The software meets the following needs for the NCATS (1) Access to drugs and investigational drugs worldwide; (2) Data on the mechanisms by which those drugs work; (3) Disease information and associated drugs, targets and clinical trials; (4) Access to associated patents for above content. These needs are essential to the operation of the NCATS. There are no other known products that contain the comprehensive and manually curated data that exists in the Integrity database. This purchase is a renewal of a previous purchase order. The software is currently being used by NCGC and to change vendors at this time would be detrimental to the work that has been completed. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 1 year, 4-user subscription to Thomson Reuters Integrity Subscription Access Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 519130, with business size standard 500 Employees. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures, therefore the requirements of FAR Part 6 B Competitive Requirements are not applicable (FAR Part 6.001) and the resultant purchase order will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-54 (November 2, 2011). This acquisition is set-aside for small business. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis, by February 18, 2012, 7:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurement.
