- Description
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) intends to award a Purchase Order to Elsevier Inc., at 360 Park Ave S, Rm 1100, New York, NY 10010-1710, for publication of a manuscript, which was developed at NIEHS, Research Triangle Park campus. The provided service is to provide the findings and results of a previously published article in the Cell Report. The North American industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 511120 and the business size standard is 1,000 employees. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. It has been determined that Dartmouth Journal Services is the only known responsible source capable of providing the required services and no other services will satisfy the agency's requirements. The purpose of this Purchase Order is to obtain a publication fee that is required in order to publish a manuscript entitled "Recombinase-dependent mouse lines for chemogenetic activation of genetically defined cell types". NIEHS scientists have spent over four (4) years on research for the manuscript and Cell Reports has set criteria and has now accepted this manuscript; therefore, it is required to continue to publish with the same reporting source. The Cell Reports is an open access (only) journal, and so the publication fees charged to NIEHS are reflective of those open-access policies. Open access allows for other researchers and the public to immediately, without cost, read the contents of the manuscript upon publication. Scientific findings are to be published in well ranked and respected scientific journals in order to communicate findings as part of the NIEHS congressional mandate in open access journals. NIEHS is requiring the publication fee for Elsevier Inc. in order to publish the manuscript in the highly ranked journal Cell Reports. Cell Reports is the journal that accepted the peer reviewed manuscript, therefore it is the journal NIEHS must publish in. No other journals were considered for publishing fees as the journal requires submission and acceptance before publishing. A manuscript can only be submitted to one journal at a time for consideration. It was concluded that Elsevier Inc. was the one vendor who could meet the specifications detailed above. This notice of intent is not a solicitation or request for quotes. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting NIEHS' requirement, as stated herein, may submit their corporate capabilities, which, if received by the response date of this announcement, may be considered. Responses to this posting must be in writing and shall be emailed to Teresa McCall at teresa.mccall@nih.gov and are due by 4:30PM ET on June 8, 2016. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
