- Description
- This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) to procure a subscription to a Chemistry Research Database without competition as prescribed in FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.203(a). Specifically, the Government will procure the database from American Chemical Society. Scifinder, a new product of the Scifinder family, provides access to a chemistry database with enhanced features and functionalities that better align to meet the Government's evolving requirements. Like the regular Scifinder database, Scifinder is also owned by the American Chemical Society. Scifinder allows multiple simultaneous, flexible searches in which results are evaluated based on relevancy to the search query to save the user time in triaging results. The capability to save search topics and allow alerts will prevent the users from performing repetitive searches as well as provide the users with convenient, up-to-date access to new information. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 519130 and PSC D316. USAMRAA intends to publish a solicitation no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis. This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects at least fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the solicitation will be issued as brand name only. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Kasey Carroll at kasey.l.carroll.civ@mail.mil Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above email address listed above no later than 1:00 PM ET, 18 April 2018.
