Wiley Online Library hosts the world ™s largest multidisciplinary collection of online resources covering life, health and physical sciences, social science, and the humanities. More specifically, this subscription service is being used by several of the DOE ™s National Laboratory ™s consortium participants as is reflects the information needs of DOE employees. The NETL requires access to this subscription service in order to have permanent access to the eBooks selected and information shared between the other participating DOE national labs. This is considered a sole source to Wiley because, to the best of the NETL ™s knowledge based on market research conducted, Wiley is the sole source subscription provider and only known source that can provide access to this specific subscription service. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 5:30 PM ET on December 23, 2017. Responses must be submitted in writing to the purchasing agent, Lora Stumpf, via email at stumpf@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on 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.
