- Description
- The US Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Western Silver Spring (WSS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) using the procedures in FAR Parts 6 and 13, to procure WorldShare Management Service (WMS) library service platform with circulation, cataloging, discovery, acquisitions and license manager functionality, including streamlined workflows via interoperability with OCLC's WorldCat knowledge base and ILLiad software. OCLC is a nonprofit, membership, computer library service, and research organization, the only provider of the WorldShare Management Service (WMS). WMS is based on existing webscale services for cataloging and resource sharing using OCLC's WorldCat knowledge base of over 240 million bibliographic records and 1.7 billion library holding records, contributed by over 100,000 participating libraries world-wide. As a member of OCLC, the Boulder Labs Library (BLL) participates with other libraries to produce and maintain the WorldCat knowledge base. The purchase of OCLC WMS will simplify workflows and use the cooperative knowledge base to provide efficiencies that cannot be offered by any other library automation vendor. OCLC WMS will allow the BLL to maintain holdings in the OCLC collective without the duplication of a local database, as would be required if any other vendor's system was purchased. OCLC is the only responsible source for the WorldShare Management Service (WMS) library service platform. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotes. However, if any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities, which if timely received, will be considered by NOAA. The capability statement and any other information furnish must be in writing, and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NOAA to determine if the part can meet all of the foregoing requirements. Responses must also accompanied by descriptive literature, warranties, and/or other information that demonstrates that the responses meet all of the foregoing requirements. Capability statements and related materials must be e-mailed to jason.zick@noaa.gov not later than Tuesday, August 12, 2014 @ 9:00 am. Award will be made using FAR 13, Simplified acquisition procedures, current through FAC 2005-58. The determination to compete or not compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please indicate NAAJ1540-14-00319.
