- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Risk Management and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Evaluation (OE) proposes to enter into a contract on a sole source basis to IHS Global Insight (USA) Inc., 24 Hartwell Avenue, Lexington MA 02421, under statutory exception 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. Global Insight is listed in The Library of Congress's schedule to provide services to HUD on a sole source basis because of their ability to provide 1) the required data formats from the economic time series that and; 2) the capability to provide 10-year economic forecasts. OE has a requirement on a sole source basis to purchase access to the economic time series from Global Insight services. The Library of Congress Schedule is for subscriptions and services deemed sole source and unique: Only the vendor on the schedule is capable of producing the data, service and subscription. OE requires IHS Global primarily because they are the only company that produces the 10 year economic forecasts as required by OMB from HUD involving the agency's budget, cash flow analysis, Credit Reform and Credit Subsidy as mandated by numerous laws. As the principal source of historical forecasts, national and regional, Global Insight provides the required economic time series for the statutory mandate to produce an annual MMI Fund actuarial review. This notice of intent is for information purposes only, therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. The period of Performance is a 12 month base plus 4 (12) month options. The NAICS Code is 519130-Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals, and the size standard is 500 employees. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received by September 23, 2014 2:00 pm EST, after publication of this notice to the effect comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Responses to this notice are to be sent to: Diane.e.toledo-Gaskins@hud.gov.
