- Description
- Pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), The U.S.Department of Education's (Department) Institute of Education Sciences (IES) intends to award a single purchase order, on a sole source basis, to Capital News Company, LLC doing business as Politico, a small business based in Arlington, Virginia, to obtain 15 subscriber licenses to Politico Pro - Education. POLITICO is the only known source that can provide the POLITICO-Education subscription. POLITICO - Education is a subscriber only publication that covers critical policy issues. A POLITICO - Education subscription contains sector-specific coverage, briefings, coverage of events, news stories, exclusive interviews, customized alerts, and other materials that are not available on the other sites or from other sources. Each license permits only identified users to access and receive content from POLITICO, namely, ahead-of-the-curve reporting on the politics of education and other policy. The Department seeks to obtain 15 subscription licenses to access up-to-the-minute resources in support of the Department's mission. Each individual license holder will have access to (i) individual customizable access to minute-to-minute news coverage from specialized policy reporting teams; (ii) early bird access to website; (iii) log-in/password access to in-depth coverage, calendar of relevant events/speakers, and an interactive community of thought leaders; (iv) attendance at all subscriber-only events and panel discussions featuring opinion leaders in journalism and private industry, as well as leading lawmakers. The subscription is for one year. The cost (14,985) is over the micro-purchase threshold but under the simplified acquisition threshold. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. However, the Department will give consideration to any interested party that identifies its interest and capability to provide POLITICO- Education subscription licenses, or submits a proposal by the response date of February 12, 2015. Responses to this notice must be submitted in writing to Leontyne Minor, Contracting Officer at Leontyne.Minor@ed.gov.
