- Special Notice Description: The U.S Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science (SC), intends to purchase a subscription to Newswise, located at 215 5th St SW Suite 100 Charlottesville, VA. 22903 for one base year with three option years. The purchase will be on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR Subsection 13.106-1(b), for posting of news content for 10 SC-stewarded labs to the Newswise platform. The Newswise platform uploads and aggregates research stories for use by science writers/science journalist subscribers in the form of a news feed. The sole source justification is based on the need for a news distribution service that targets the scientific community and specifically DOE SC. Newswise has also built out a portal that captures DOE SC scientific news from both labs and universities partners, providing timely, current digests of scientific news relevant to the scientific community, and specifically DOE SC. Newswise also provides the most comprehensive services for providing scientific news and therefore is the most capable of meeting the government's requirement. No other vendor offers the capability to aggregate and curate a wire feed of science content from the DOE national laboratories or university research funded by DOE, or provides DOE the capability to monitor and guide selection of the content stream. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to sandra.cullen@science.doe.gov. The government will consider responses received by 12:00PM Central Standard Time, September 6, 2016. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed 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 in the future. This Notice of Intent is not a Request for Quotations, nor is it a Request for Competition. No telephone requests will be honored. The NAICS Code is 519130 with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
