In addition, the Technical Library provides access to electronic databases, industry electronic newsletters, online codes and standards, electronic journals, CD-ROMs, and other relevant web resources. Specifically, the Technical Library provides access to Nuclear Intelligence Weekly electronic newsletter in support of the agency's regulatory and licensing mission. This newsletter is published on a weekly basis and is used by NRC staff to obtain knowledgeable financial, uranium and global fuel-cycle markets.This acquisition is conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). Energy Intelligence is the copyright holder, sole publisher and distributor of Nuclear Intelligence Weekly (NIW) electronic newsletter. This requirement and was publicized in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2. A Notice of Intent was posted to FBO.gov on 09/02/2014. No responses were received as a result of the notice.

The COR conducted market research in May 2014. The research found that Energy Intelligence is the only publisher of NIW. There are no other organizations that can provide NRC with the same newsletter and therefore information without infringing on copyright. The NRC Acquisition Management Division will closely monitor requirements for any subsequent acquisitions to ensure that any restrictions to competition are adequately justified and to ensure that competitive procedures are used to the maximum extent practicable.
