- Description
- This is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation, but merely notification of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) intent to issue, on a sole-source basis, a firm fixed-price purchase order to R.S. Means Co., LLC for access to their online subscription entitled RSMeans Online Complete Library. Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 6.302-1, the Contracting Officer has determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. RSMeans Online Complete Library is only available from its producer and manufacturer and not through dealers or distributors. The period of performance will be for twelve months, beginning August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015, with an additional four options years, if exercised. The subscription will be accessed through the SSA's Digital Library and is password protected. Office of Facilities uses RSMeans Online at headquarters and throughout the agency's regional and field office to plan for construction and repair-related costs to SSA buildings. R.S. Means provides an online resource accessing detailed construction cost data, along with assembly and whole building costs data, under one interface. The subscription also provides accurate and up-to-date cost information that helps owners, developers, architects, engineers, contractors and others to project and control the cost of both new building construction and renovation projects. The RSMeans Online Complete Library includes the following datasets: • Assemblies • Building Construction • Commercial Renovation • Concrete and Masonry • Electrical • Facilities Construction • Facilities Maintenance and Repair • Green Building • Heavy Construction • Interior • Mechanical • Plumbing • Residential • Site Work and Landscape • Square Foot This requirement is utilizing procedures in FAR Part 12 in conjunction with procedures in FAR Part 13. A determination by SSA not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of SSA. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The government does not intend to pay for information provided in response to this notice. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. Responses shall be submitted by 12:00PM ET on July 18, 2014. If SSA does not receive an acceptable response to this announcement by July 18, 2014, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be conducted with R.S. Means Co., LLC as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted. Respondents should refer to 0919-14-1037 in their responses. All responses must be submitted via email to Molly.Papas@ssa.gov.
