- Description
- This is a NOTICE of INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to make a sole source award to Nature Publishing Group to access electronic journal subscriptions. The NSF has a requirement for electronic journals from Nature Publishing Group. Nature Publishing Group is an international publishing company that publishes academic journals,, magazines, online databases, and services in science and medicine. Nature Publishing Group is the sole provider granting access to the journals published by their organization. Nature Publishing Group is the only available source for electronic journals which are not re-sold by any other vendors. The proposed contract is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), authorized by FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(2). For purchases 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 responsibly available. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation of offers. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon the responses to this notice, is solely within discretion of the Government. Interested parties may submit information for consideration by the Government to: Diane Harris, Contracting Officer, email diharris@nsf.gov. Please use the solicitation number referenced in the subject line.
