- Description
- SYNOPSIS: The National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) hereby provides notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract to Leadership Directories, Inc., 104 5th Avenue, Fl. 3, New York, NY 10011-6901. The contract is expected to be awarded under the authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1). A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. The period of performance for this effort is for a 12-month base period with four (4) 12-month option periods. The contract will be in support of NIST's Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) division to identify potential new partnership opportunities at the federal and state levels of government within the manufacturing industry by providing Subscription Services. Leadership Directories, Inc. is the only source that combines all required datasets into a single accessible, searchable directory. Continued use of and access to Leadership Directories, Inc.'s datasets and directory will allow NIST MEP personnel to continue to expand its partnerships with stakeholders at all levels of government and to continue addressing the needs of U.S. manufacturers. A loss of the directories would stop progress. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NIST will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice of intent. Only written responses will be considered. As a result of analyzing responses to this notice of intent, the Government shall determine whether a solicitation will be issued. Any prospective contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award. Information concerning SAM registered requirements may be viewed via the Internet at http://sam.gov. INSTRUCTIONS: All interested parties shall submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their capabilities to satisfy the requirements listed above to Chantel Adams by email at chantel.adams@nist.gov no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 9, 2015.
