- Description
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, with John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 111 River St. Hoboken, NJ 07030-5790, USA to provide the Wiley Registry Upgrade / NIST and Designer Drugs Library. The Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Information and Technology (OIT), Laboratories and Scientific Services Directorate (LSSD) is responsible for providing chemical and forensic services to CBP Officers and Supervisors as other law enforcement personnel, as needed. LSSD, on a daily basis, is responsible for the proper identification of bulk chemicals being imported into the United States of America. Drug smugglers often try to mask their illicit substances as legitimate trade, but it is the responsibility of LSSD to distinguish between the two types of shipments. Throughout LSSD, Wiley / NIST combination mass spectrometry (MS) libraries are being utilized. At this time, there is no consistency amongst laboratories as to the version being utilized and/or if the software is even available at all. In order to keep LSSD consistent in its resources throughout, this software upgrade is being procured. John Wiley and Sons, Inc. is the manufacturer of the Mass Spectral Libraries noted below: - Wiley Registry of Mass Spectral Data, 11th Edition (Upgrade) - Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs 2016 Upgrade As the publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc owns the copyright and publishing rights to the aforementioned libraries. As such, no other publisher or organization can produce this software. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with John Wiley and Sons, Inc. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal. If any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the Government to determine if the party can support the requirement. A determination to compete this action based on the responses received is at the sole discretion of the Government. All interested parties must express their capabilities in writing via email to brice.winston@cbp.dhs.gov. Verifications of receipt of responses are the sole responsibility of the interested party. If no responsive statements are received by 08 June 2016 at 12:00 PM EDT, an award will be made to John Wiley and Sons, Inc. The anticipated award date is 09 June 2016.
